Frog Tours
A tour of Big Ben on land then... water.

Today we went on Frog Tours via land and water. The tour woman was very interesting as she untangled her hair while she was giving us the tour. The tour started from the London Eye and went across the Thames River near the House of Parliament and the Westminster Abbey. Then we traversed across the bridge near the British "CIA" building and into the water.

The tour was compliments of the Council program and was kind of intense because I have heard about the tour boat capsizing or going under during the water segment. Luckily the boat did just fine and cruised right next to the House of Parliament with a spectacular water front view.

This is the Frog Tours company that took us around town via land then right into the Thames. Its an old American military vehicle that operates on land and water.

Big Ben

This is the London Eye. It was created for the millenium and was only suppose to be up for 1 year but they decided to keep it. It takes 30 minutes to get around the entire circle and each cabin can fit around 25 people.
