Flying High Over London

Although it was a fine, sunny evening for our boat trip, there was quite a cool wind blowing, so by the time we disembarked, our fur was standing on end with the cold. We went into the former County Hall to warm up prior to our London Eye flight and found a warm radiator to sit on. We soon had toasty bottoms and warm paws.


We were very lucky to get a pod almost to ourselves. As a result there was lots of room and we could move round to test out the various views. As we started to rise we found it very funny seeing legs in the sky above us.

We didn't have to get very high to start enjoying some wonderful dusk views over London.


Not surprisingly, while the rest of us were identifying famous buildings, Eddie was paying more attention to the river traffic.

As we rose even higher London really started to open up beneath us. We pointed out the Queen's back garden to Patrick and then we all waved madly in case H.M. was enjoying an evening stroll in the garden with her corgis.


Our next picture shows us reaching dizzying heights. It's a good job bears have a good head for heights.


It was actually getting quite dark at this point, but a burst of camera flash makes it seem quite the opposite.

We've only one criticism of a London Eye flight and that is that it's over all too soon.

Lots of love, George, Yorkie, Eddie, Patrick, Chelmer & Rocco xxx
