London is an amazing city. It is massive and encompasses so many people. There was no culture shock to no surprise. Although for the first time, I was the one with the accent. We toured some of the typical sites such as Parliament and Big Ben. The guards and their outfits are something to see. Every few minutes they do their march. At one point I saw a guard inch over tiny step by tiny step to be perfectly alined with his post. It was really amusing.
Later in the night we splurged and went atop the London Eye. It's massive presence cannot be felt unless you physically go up in there. You stand 450 feet tall at its peak and overlook everything in the city. You have a complete 360 degree view of everything around. Going at night truly allows you to see just how beautiful the city was. I wish I could spend more than a few days there but works calls as always.
