We had a brilliant journey up to London, first class travel on the train. We got to Paddington and hired a taxi to take us to the hotel. We were staying in the hotel were the conference would take place the next day.
My friend was very excited when we got to the rom as she could see the Eye from the window.
We made our way to Waterloo station via the tube and walked towards the Eye, It was breath taking. It is a beautiful piece of architecture and very well placed. It doesn’t impose i
ts size on anything around it.
We found an Italian wine bar and had something to eat and talked about the reality as my friend had always wanted to travel on the London eye. We felt like a couple of school children left to misbehave.
We finished our meal and headed to the Eye. We met our waiter and were escorted to the pod.
We entered the pod and had our champagne, it was amazing.
We had a waiter who served us the champagne and were in a pod with around 12 other people. After the trip on the eye we went across the Millenium Bridge and walked around Covent garden which was full of people and buskers. there is some real raw talent in this place. My friend liked the Reggea busker. I really liked the Acoustic guitarist, he played and sang “something” by George Harrison, it was beautiful. We would loved to have taken them back to the hotel with us and listen to them all night. We made our way back to the hotel via rickshaw and tube. While on the tube we had another treat. A guy dresses like a teddy boy playing and singing “thats alright mama”. He was great. I haven’t ever seen this part of London, I liked it.
We settled down for the night and looked forward to the conference the next day.
