Mitchell loved London. It seemed to be the city of fancy cars. He took dozens of photos of cars that one day he dreams of owning.
Me inside one of the London Eye pods. Lots of glass and lots of seeing through to the ground way down below. Good views over the city to be had from up here. London was very flat.
The houses of Parliament and Big Ben from the Eye.
The tower bridge. We were lucky enough to see it at one of its rare openings. It now opens on average, 40 times per month compared to an average of 400 per month only 8 - 10 yrs ago.

Yes. I can imagine that Mitchell would love London. It's got a great vibe for 'young, up and comings'! This weekend, on news programs, there were quite a few comments about Aussies, similar to Mitchell, returning home after working in London for 10 years, because of our positive economic challenges.

The Eye looks like a great way to get an overall picture of the city - just like the Eiffel Tower. I remember noticing that Paris is generally flat too. I wasn't brave enough to go up the Tower, but could see pretty well from Sacre Coeur.

Great photos and lovely weather for you.
