The cows can barely contain their excitement waiting for their Boeing 747 to take off from Seattle to London Heathrow. | |
Lunch and Snack's first stop in London was the Clock Tower at the House of Parliament, better known as Big Ben. | |
The London Eye took them up for a bird's eye view of central London and the River Thames. Three and a half million people take a ride on this giant, slow Ferris wheel every year. | |
This is what the London Eye looks like from a distance...that's Nancy taking a picture of it. It's also called "The Millennium Wheel" and stands 443 feet tall on the bank of the Thames. | |
This is Westminster Abbey next to the House of Parliament. It's the traditional place for coronations and burials for English monarchs. | |
Lunch and Snack take a look at Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, a monument that commemorates Admiral Horatio Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. | |
"Look at all these pigeons, Lunch!" | |
Keith photographs the cows among all the pigeons and people in Trafalgar Square. | |
Lunch and Snack try to figure out where they're going at London's National Gallery. | |
Picadilly Circus ~~ a center of lots of activity in London's theater district. | |
At the Tower of London...a World Heritage Site, home of the Crown Jewels of the U.K. and a former fortress. | |
Tower Bridge is a symbol of the City of London and one of the most photographed bridges in the world. | |
The cows sit on the Prime Meridian at the Royal Greenwich Observatory. The meridian is defined as 0 degrees longitude, separating the Eastern and Western hemispheres. | |
All the tourists wanted to take Lunch and Snack's picture on the Prime Meridian, too! |
