A walk in my shoes: A travel journal to .....
London,England

London Eye

The London eye is 443 feet tall above the city of London. It goes at a slow speed of 16 centimeters a second and takes 30 minutes to go around once so you can enjoy the view. There are 32 capsules in total but the numbers go up 33. That is because they left out the number 13 for luck.

At the London eye I could not believe the amazing view that i had while inside the capsile. It was kind of weird being in a oval capsule but it was still cool. I was able to see the sunset,the city,and this river that was right next to it. Also I think I got the perfect timing to be in the capsule because I was at the top, a sunset was happening,and I had a empty capsule which is nice.

At the Tower of London's poppy garden there is 888,246 poppies in total. Each poppy is dedicated to every soldier who died during the First World War. Also it took 80 million dollars and four years to make the garden.

At the London eye poppy garden you could smell the aroma just by getting close. Just this great big smell of poppies everywhere. Now i know you can't actually touch the flowers or even close but i bribed the guy in the picture just so i could take one picture. But I probably shouldn't have touched the flower because he could have maybe arrested me for that. Mainly because it's a very famous landmark and I could get in trouble just by touching one poppy.

St Paul's Carhedral

At St. Paul's cathedral I really liked being in this very religious place but i did not like that it was pretty much a cemetery for very important people. I also kind of want to know how the wisper gallery works so well. But it would probably be impossible to say anything behind someones back there. Also I think a event was going on or something happened because only 2 people were there.

The St. Paul's cathedral was very close to being destroyed during the First World War and 8 famous people were buried in the cathedral. Also there is a whispering gallery in there where someone could be heard clearly 112 feet away.

The Big Ben

At the Big Ben It was kind of cool to see a huge clock that hundreds of feet tall and just so big. But a lot of birds where around the area and some weird girl who smiled in my photo so i did not want to be there long. But I did like there being a giant clock next to

The Big ben's name was given to the clock in 1856. A year later in 1857 the original bell broke because of the weight of the striking hammer. Also in 1949 the clock lost 4 and 1/2 minutes because so many birds were on the minute hand.

The Shard

Inside the shard there are 87 floors inside and 9 that are exposed to the elements. Overall there are 306 flights of stairs and the whole building is made up of 11,000 glass panes.
