In the Eye....

The walk was lovely, past London Bridge and others and we were soon there...




A pre-booking made sure that all was set up for us inside the Eye ( well, weather excluded- couldn't be helped). Anita ( pictured with the wine glass), discovered that the overall package cost nearly six hundred pounds - and that added to the "value" of the experience. The Gurukul Academic supervisors and professional Mentors were expected to join in: some did, the weather did the others in. Intended as Drinks on the London Eye at Sunset ( no sunset today :( - no regrets), we were more than delighted to see a host board with a hamper full of goodies.

The Capsules are quite big, and the Eye does not you as you get on or off - so the boarding is an efficient process. Being run by/ sponsored by British Airways, you Check - In, Board etc etc....a quarter of the journey up, our host(ess) discovers that we have the wine bottles but no opener! A frantic call or two, and the Eye stops, and is reversed!! ( Remember the train scene in Omkara...) ...and we just said that the Eye does not stop!! Aaah well.... the ride was smooth, glorious views ( said to be 40 miles on clear days) even in the rain...excellent wine and the nibbles...and in an hour we were back on terra firma, in extremely high spirits!
