Paul the Apostle must have been a pretty special bloke to have such a cathedral built in his name. St. Pauls Cathedral is an impressive structure, standing inside looking up at the massive dome is quite a sight. It is such an icon of London, and what’s even more impressive is how it still stands after being targeted during The Blitz of 1940. The modern Millenium Bridge spanning the River Thames leads you to the doors of St. Pauls, new and old connecting each other.
The London Eye. It’s a big ferris wheel. A really really large ferris wheel actually, the tallest in all of Europe. With a diameter of 120 metres it’s not really hard to spot this thing. Boarding one of the capsules you are treated to amazing views of London as far as the eye can see. This time in London though I didn’t bother, the top of the wheel was touching the grey cloud line, I doubt the people up there could see anything at all.
I'm travelling the world once again, but this time a little differently. I am currently cycle touring my way through Europe. On the 11/11/11 I pedalled out of Bromsgrove, a few hundred kilometres north-west of London. From there I made my way through central London, down to Dover, caught a ferry to Calais and got started in France. Calais to Amiens, through the hustle and bustle of Paris, into the southern wine regions and am now heading to the Mediterranean coast and the city of Marseille.
