The London Eye

The London Eye, built in 1999, is now the third highest Ferris wheel in the world (443 feet). It takes 30 minutes to turn.

 Donning 3D glasses for the "4D" experience ahead of our visit. This was a five minute 3D video "pep rally" for the ride.

 Our view waiting on line.

All the carriages are white - except this one that is orange. Sadly, we did not get on the orange one.

 Here we go!

 View of South London.

 Say cheese.

 Over the top...

 Fly-over Big Ben and Houses of Parliament.

(Big Ben is getting a name change, by the way, to "Elizabeth Tower." Mordu and I are pushing for "Big Beth" as the new nickname.)

 Now heading down...

Picture of us snapped on the way out.
