My flight on the London Eye

Waiting in line, I was hardly nervous at all just very excited with the London Eye looming above me.  When we were getting on the pod it didn’t stop so we had to jump on over a gap where I could see the surface of the murky, gushing river.  I had sudden second thoughts, I didn’t want to die I thought of jumping off over the now rather large gap.  The doors closed I didn’t feel scared anymore I was warm and cosy.

I took some photos of the fantastic views even though we weren’t even a quarter of the way up. For a while I just looked at the view happily.

Rising slowly we were nearing the top I was a little bit upset because when we got to the top we would have to start coming down.

With my hand on top of Big Ben I got Zarah to take a picture of me with my disposable camera. The Houses of Parliament were standing in front of a beautiful sunset and the bridge with the tiny little moving rectangle lorries it was unbelievable. The view was almost blinding especially the sunset from the safe white wheel.  It was indescribable.

Then we started going down.  I looked through the glass at the wonderful view and took some more pictures.  An announcement told us to go to the northeast and northwest sides of the pod for a photograph.  For a while, we waited for the pod to get near to the camera, a big flash lit up the pod and then we landed.  We had to quickly jump off.  The ground felt funny when we got off because we were no longer moving.
