I wanted to do something a bit different for my final night, and I almost missed everything due to the classic London subway hassle of major delays due to “signalling falures” .

But I took a different route and “flew” on the London Eye and it was fun – and a bit scary.

While I don’t consider myself too afraid of heights, at times I was feeling exposed and was sort of crouching down in the pod. This was partially due to wanting to stabilize the camera to take pictures, but to be honest it was really due to my hands starting to sweat!

But – I’m glad I went. Nice views, and short lines at night.
