From The London Eye



DH and her little traveling friend went on London eye, the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe ,when they were in London at the end of last month. The ondon Eye, standing tall at 135 m, is shorter than the one in Singapore, 165m. It is situated on the banks of River Thames in Central London and was erected in 1999. Mr. Tony Blair, the Prime Minster then, opened it at the very end of the year.



From up there, the passengers were able to view the city, notably Big Ben and the famous Palace of Westminster. It's a nice and quick way to see the panorama of London. Thanks to DH for the pictures.

Cambridge River

Now, there are three again. And lots of laundry to work on. While the one from South Africa brought back more than a thousand pictures, the one from UK came back with fewer than 200 pictures on one camera. The other three cameras (yes, one little girl with three cameras!), the ones that are still in Cambridge, reportedly have accumulated more than a thousand pictures after being in the country for less than a week. When shall see how many pictures my tween takes in one month there. We'll find out in August!



It's been a while since I went to Cambridge, the river looks just the same. It looks soothing and serene. It's a nice place to go to and walk along for a walk by. (Picture is courtesy of DH!). Come to think of it, there's a river right down from where I am living, I should appreciate what I have more, rather than longing for something far and harder to reach.
