Granted, we have never done the London Eye...not good for my mal de debarquement syndrome, and Vicki had bad childhood experiences...so we opted to do the Sky Garden, a sort of viewing station/botanical garden atop one of London's city center skyscrapers. It takes a reservation, etc., but the views were great, and it was certainly a once in a lifetime experience.

| Down river |

| Us, there; 46th floor |
 |
| Tower and Bridge |
 |
| Greater London has many CBDs |
 |
| Neighbors |
 |
| St. Paul's and west, the BT Tower in Fitzrovia |
 |
| The garden bit, nice, but not overwhelming |
 |
| Up river |
 |
| The Globe down there somewhere |
 |
| Yes, there |
 |
| The Great Fire monument |
 |
| Up river, more |
 |
| The Shard |

Not our most expensive drink ever (that was in Milan, but also
very special; or more likely Florian, Venice, pre-retirement) |

| Parting shots |

Sky Garden at the top there, in a building, 20 Fenchurch St.,
Londoners call the "walkie-talkie" |
