The London Eye

We rode London's ferris wheel today (New Years Day) and it is called the London Eye. It is the biggest ferris wheel in the world, and we rode inside glass capsules. It looks like a giant bicycle wheel, kind of, because it has spokes.

The capsules rotate in the holders, so you don't go upside down at the top, although that would be pretty cool! We had about 15 people in our capsule.

When you got off and on, it didn't stop--it was still moving. You had to make sure you stepped over the crack, or you might fall down.

It was fun to go on, because you were very high up. When you looked down, it was a long way down and you kind of freak out sometimes.

There was a long line to get into it, but the line moved quickly.

We also saw the New Years Parade and went inside a big church that had a lot of dead people buried in it. We listened to the church choir. Our feet got sore, because we walked everywhere. We also took the subway.
