Last Day in London!

Hi Kids!

My last day here was busy seeing what I had not seen yet (Trafalgar Square) and, something I was REALLY looking forward to...a ride on the London Eye!
Trafalgar Square is in the middle of the city and is a HUGE open area with a very tall structure in the middle called Nelson's Column. It's name that because there's a statue of Lord Nelson on top. He was an important man in England over 200 years ago so they honored him by building the column with him on top. The column is guarded on the bottom by four very large lion sculptures. The Square is very popular and many people visit when they come here and climb on the lions backs like Flat Noah and Flat Ava did.
I finally got to ride the London Eye. It's the biggest ferris wheel in all of Europe. It doesn't look so big when you're far away, but, when you get close, it's HUGE!!! Each car carries 25 people and, when you ride, you get to go around once...very slowly. At the top you can see the car next to you along with the whole city far below. The people on the ground below the Eye look like little dots. It was really exciting!

Flat Noah and Flat Ava enjoyed the ride very much too even though they were a little scared at first! There were a lot of other kids on the ride so they soon forgot to be scared.

It was a fun day! Tomorrow we go to Amsterdam, a city in Holland which is known for growing Spring flowers, mostly tulips. I can't wait to photograph them!
