The Adventure Continues to London: London Part 1

After our 4 days in Paris we rode the Chunnel to London. It was a smooth fast ride. You are in France and then before you know it you pop up out of the Chunnel Tunnel and all of the sudden you are now in England! Thanks to Mom and Dad Rose we stayed in a beautiful Marriott hotel that used to be the County Hall building. The hotel is located on the South Bank of the Thames and has spectacular views of Big Ben and the House of Parliament. The London Eye was right outside our hotel too. Our first evening there Thomas and I also took an evening stroll down the Thames to the Tower bridge.

Check out the views!! We rode the eye as the sun was setting. It was fun to see London from that high up!

That giant ferris wheel thing is scary high!! What a fun time. The Marriot looks beautiful. Close to everything. So glad you had a wonderful time. You both look great.
