A couple of the Wellingtonian girls we met on our castle trip, Amy and Caroline who live in Milton Keynes, came down to London for the weekend to check out the sights. They brought Amy's boyfriend, Aaron, with them so that made for a confusing evening.

We meet them at the London Eye at 5pm. They suggested it, but it is something we've been meaning to do for ages. After about 1/2 an hour in the cue (and our tickets were pre-booked), we made it to our pod with the 32 other people that would be taking our 'flight'. The 'flight' took about 45 mins, which was long enough to see the sights without getting bored.

Amy has the same SLR digital as Aaron, so they were both in their element swapping lenses and discussing settings. Think that Amy has decided she wants a zoomy lens like Aaron's for her birthday (on Tuesday if anyone's interested).

After that we headed to Covent Garden for dinner, then were going to go for a drink when it was suggested that we go see Trafalagar Square and a few of the other sights that the others hadn't seen.

We ended up checking out St Pauls, the Millenium Bridge and Shakespeare's Globe. Amy, Aaron and Caroline were off to Jamie Oliver's restaurant for lunch today, so we expect a full report sometime soon.
