We saw London's major attractions through the London Eye - a giant ferris wheel over the Thames River. It provides great views of London.

Here are a few other London photos from ground level.

We followed the footsteps of Jack the Ripper through the east end of London. His five murders were committed near our hotel over 100 years ago. Lucky for us it's a much better neighbourhood now.
We couldn't leave without a night at the theatre. We went to the theatrical version of Dirty Dancing - you can guess who's pick that was.

We're now headed to the English countryside with a stop in Salisbury in southwest England.

P.S. Here's one more photo. It's us at the Edmonton Airport on July 1 when we left. We'll post comparison photos as the trip progresses.
