Walk Along the Thames

After our trip to Abbey Road, we decided to start at the London Eye, a huge Ferris Wheel, and walk along the Thames River to take in the sights.  We walked along the south bank and encountered many street artists and/or beggars.  Along the way we saw the Globe Theater, Tate Gallery, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace.  We must have walked at least 5 miles.  The weather was mostly overcast, but we did have moments of sunshine.  We even wore our sunglasses for about 15 minutes.
