After a long flight, which seemed like an hour because I slept the whole way, we finally made it to London. Being my usual self I lost the directions to my sister’s flat and we had to rely on the iphone and its 10% battery life to make it there. London today was really quite stunning, I was expecting dreary and overcast weather with a 90% chance of rain. However it was only mildly cold and fairly sunny.

I still can’t get over how clean the city is, everywhere you go is just clean, and everyone seems to be wearing designer clothes. I feel really under dressed for this city with my gap long sleeve waffle shirt, and blue jeans. Since the weather was so nice we decided to ride on the London Eye which was really quite amazing. I particularly liked the random James Bond wax figure they had in the line for the Eye. Once we got in and started gaining altitude the view was amazing and the sky had these hues of pink and orange strewn across it. We also had a very nice and spectacular view of Big Ben and the Parliament building. I’m starting to feel pretty tired and will probably take a nap in preparation for our travel over to Switzerland tomorrow.
