This morning Gina left for Australia and Hanging Rock.  Jen (Graham's niece) with Morgan, Dorian and Robin came to pick us up.  We all went to the London Eye which is on the bank of the Thames.  It was an excellent way to see over London with the ride taking half an hour.  We could see Buckingham Palace in the distance with its grounds surrounded by trees, St Paul's Cathedral in the background, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Bridge and a wonderful view of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament across the Thames.  The Houses of Parliament are so majestic and regal.  We then took a cruise on the Thames which gave us an entirely different view of London.  The Thames flows extremely fast and we were amazed at the difference in tide levels.  Jen took us to the park and river near her place where we could see Chelsea football stadium.  We then enjoyed a delicious dinner with Jen and Don and family.  It was great to see them all again and catch up on all their news.
