Eye and Dungeon. Eeek!

Sun 19th July.
Went on the London Eye. Nice views. Seems to take less than the advertised 25 mins to go around though.
Took a nice pleasant stroll down The Southbank to the London Dungeons. People just floating about on a Sunday afternoon, past the market stalls. Very surreal! (That was another reference to a Madness song).
The Dungeons were really good. Took a lot longer than i would have thought. Then at the end you go on this ride like 'Bounce' at Oakwood. It just drops suddenly and you just about freefall till it slows down a second or two later. I absloutely SHIT myself!! Terrified, just for that one second! We went into the foyer where they display the photos they've just taken of you, and I had a fit of absolute hysterics!! mine and Kellie's faces are pure terror, but Kellie's had me literally doubled over with laughter, hanging on to the rail, tears streaming down my face! Lasagne!!!

Had a nice Sunday roast at the Horniman. And some more Pimms and Lemonade, of course.
Kellie and Matt went to Kings Cross to move our luggage from the Macdonals Hotel to Picadilly Backpackers, while I made my way to the London Museum. Or the Museum of London. Had to walk ages from Moorgate Tube stn, down London Wall (it's a road), to the museum. Glad I did though, cos I came accross part of the actual old London Wall itself! It's part of the original defensive wall built by the Romans around Londinium. This is another reference to Madness, as their new Album "The Liberty of Norton Folgate" is named after a Liberty on the outskirts of Londinium, near Shoreditch, which still had it's own council and laws in 1900.
Went through the museum, and at the end found a big photo of Kellie! Yes, that's right. It was a corner that was a memorial to the terrorist bombings in London last time we were here. Me and the girls attended the memorial service and laying of the wreaths by relatives and dignitaries. There's a big photo on the wall, of that day, and kellie's in it. Me and Jessie must have been hidden by the crowd.

Asked the chick at the desk where Norton Folgate and the Licht bar were, and she printed off a google map for me. Walked all the way up there, past Liverpool station, and Found Norton Folgate! Jumped and laughed, even though I was on my own in a rather busy street. Soo exciting! Went to the Light bar a hundred metres away. That's where Madness held the launch party/small gig for their new album. A few of my fan/friends had been lucky enough to attend and got to meet the band, so there'd been plenty of photos and videos posted on the net. Had a Pimms and Lemonade in Carl's memory. Sooo cool!
Long treck back to Picadilly Backpackers. It's nice, clean, and very central. About 100m from the statue of Eros.
