London eye

We four tripsters were sad to leave Ireland. The weather had been great. The countryside just so green and lush around cork county and the people soo friendly. We have certainly had a variety of friendliness on our travels.
We left the shores of Ireland for a very quick stopover at Heathrow. After we had farewelled Gwen (sad for Pauline) and settled into our Hotel we ventured out to find the Tube to take us to Embankment where we could go on the London Eye and at least get a Birdseye view of the very busy vibrant city of London.
We decided to pay just airtime more and fast track as the line was very long. Glad we did as within 15 minutes we were on the Eye and enjoying the views of Westminster Abby, St Paul's Cathedral etc.
Pauline left Annie and CD and ventured into Oxford Street whist the others soaked up the entertainment along the banks of the Thames before they returned to the Hotel. Pauline though stayed in London visiting Oxford St Covent Gardens and walking down to Picadilly Circus before returning on the Tube to the Hotel. Just a taste of London for Annie but hope it was enough to wet her appetite to return one day.
After a good nights rest we all ventured back to Heathrow to await our flight to sIngapore. Nearly back home!!!
