I waited for Godot!

Tonight I went to see Waiting for Godot. It is a play by Samuel Beckett, who was from Ireland, and it was showing at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. We couldn't take pictures inside, otherwise I would have asked the stars for a photo with me.

I was really excited as the main actors were Ian McKellan, who also starred in the Harry Potter movies, as well as Patrick Stewart, who starred in Star Trek on TV. They are both really great stage actors, and is was amazing to see them perform.

My time in London!

Today I had the opportunity to go on the London Eye. The London Eye is located right on the River Thames in London, and is a big giant ferris wheel. It is 135 metres high, and the largest wheel in Europe, and was built to celebrate the year 2000. From it you can see all of London. The weather was not so great, but the views were still good.

You can see the London Eye in the background on the left side. Just behind my head is Big Ben. Big Ben is the clock at Westminster, it is famous. It has been around for 150 years.

Even though the day was not so good, I was happy to get to see London from the sky!
