After working all day and the parents touring all day, I met them at my office to walk across the bridge to the London Eye. We went for dinner on the Southbank and then headed to the London Eye. I thought the ride would be cheesy, but it was actually very nice, relaxing and impressive.

Bridge walk - Ben at night.
On the Eye - view of my office building with the train/foot bridge heading into it. What a cool place to work!
Views after the sunset (can you spot St Paul's?)

Selfie on the Eye - long hair Lindsay....still hadn't found a London hair place! Things that are very stressful when you move - finding a new hair place. In the Hague, it took a visit to one place that went well, so I stuck with it. In London, it took 2 places. First one was a random I found off of a consolidated website with booking services. It wasn't great....Polish guy who was very insistent on how to do my hair. Not the best haircut I've had. The second was perfect - found through same website, but not even close to my house. It's close to work, so it's convenientish. I really like the Irish girl who cut my hair and I think she did a great job. I need to get it coloured next time - huge adventure there!
Recommendations on visiting the Eye:
1. Buy online before hand - cheaper.
2. Buy the fast track - worth not waiting in line for sure.
3. Eat in the area before hand and then get on at dusk to see both light and dark.
It's not worth all the money you pay for it, but it's pretty close.
