Cousin Oliver

Dear Tigey and Katie,

Today is our first full day in London. Rachel is feeling sick, so we’re taking it easy.

We hopped a bus and went on The London Eye. The Eye is a giant ferris wheel that is 900 feet tall and gives you a view of London from really high in the air.

It was a long line, but it was fun to go up so high.

After we rode The Eye, we walked across the Thames River to say hello to Big Ben:

The tower behind me and Rachel is called “Big Ben”, and it’s a big loud clock that chimes in London. It’s got a 14-ton bell (that’s as heavy as 10 cars!) inside the tower.

The we went to see Buckingham Palace, which is where the Queen of England lives.
