maiken does london

I was finally able to see Maiken again for the first time this weekend in nearly three years. She was able to fly down from Norway for the weekend so we could explore the city together and do some much needed catching up.



We spent the majority of the weekend sight seeing. We saw the major tourist attractions around the Thames and then ventured into North London to find Abbey Road. This was my first time there and there definitely wasn't much to see, just a road!



Another thing I did for the first time this weekend was ride the London Eye. Maiken had gone on the eye during the day before so we decided to do the night ride which I had heard was very impressive. The ride is about 30 minutes long and you are able to N,S,E,W out of the capsule you ride in around the wheel. The views were amazing up and down the Thames and to the north and south of the city. I didn't realize just how big London was until I was at the top of the eye!
