Our last day :-(

We slept in this morning and then enjoyed a nice coffee with Doris and our hosts Annabel & Barry. We planned our last day with a trip into the city to see experience the London Eye and then shopping for Kelly and the Belfast Royal Museum Tour for Dave. We left about 11 am and found the eye with little trouble after exiting the Waterloo station. It's quite huge and was easy to spot once we got outside.
Kelly picked up the tickets and after a short 15 minute wait we loaded up and were on our way around the huge wheel. Great views as the weather cooperated nicely. It was interesting to see all the places we had been over the last week as you had unrestricted views.

After getting off the Eye, Dave decided to join me in the Oxford Street shopping area instead of going to the Belfast. What a trooper! Hit a pub then to some shops along the ave. As we had made plans for a dinner with the gang, we headed home early and had our last train ride.

Before dinner we got our 200th geocache at a famous Dinosaur display (built in 1854) near our section of town. Very interesting place. It was our final night so all tucked in to a great meal at Dulwich House Pub.

We are up early for our departure back to Vancouver and then Victoria. If all goes well we should be there in the afternoon sometime.
