Here our fortunes started to change we were advised that tickets were sold up to about eleven and by the time we got to the window probably noon. We then decided to book tickets for about 2.00pm so we could do the London Eye and have some lunch.
After getting tickets we had a bite to eat at the museum this was a mistake. The coffee was semi cold, the duck wrap tasteless and the chili crisps (chips) blew your head off. Phil could not find anything to tempt him apart for a cookie but picked the wrong one and took one with cranberries in it (he does not like cranberries). That therefore was a waste of 26 dollars.
We then went to the London Eye, here is our official photo taken just before the trip ends.
Next are a couple of photos I took from inside the capsule
After this we went into a cafe along the South Bank and had a coffee and I had a maple and pecan pastry and Phil had a sandwich, I think BLT but I am not sure it may have been ham.
After this we went back to the museum and visited the exhibition which was fantastic and if any of you are in London try and see it, it is here until April next year.
After this we decided to come home and get a Chinese Take-away, I had deep fried shredded chili beef with seaweed and Phil had Chicken Chop Suey and special fried rice. Then we went back to my place and opened my presents. Phil gave me an Eeyore mug, a Canadian cook book he picked up from a restaurant he visited when in the rockies earlier this year.
This is the restaurant he got the cook book from (he took this photo during his visit)
It was a lovely day cold but bright and clear and here are a few photos taken along the South Bank
And believe it or not even an ice cream van in November
