Going on the London Eye was truly a remarkable experience! I had never been on a Ferris wheel this high so it was nice to be on one this high! I went on the Sky Wheel in Myrtle Beach, which was nice, but it did not offer views like the London Eye did. Most of the sites that we had visited were visible from the Eye.
The iconic Big Ben can be seen in this picture. It was nice to see this again since our time by the boat launch was limited. image
Although hard to see because I took this with my iPhone, St. Paul’s Cathedral can be seen behind another building. This also shows how massive the cathedral really is, because it towers over the surrounding buildings!
Of course the Shard is visible from the Eye, but I like how this picture shows the isolation of the Shard from the other larger skyscrapers of London.
A lot of the bridges can also be seen quite well and being high in the air, it can be seen that many important buildings and sites are linked together by these.
There was also a wonderful view of the sunset while at the top of the eye, which can be seen here. The views were incredible and it was definitely a wonderful experience!
