The last video I have from my time in London is short – I guess I was too absorbed in just taking the last of my time there in. The first little bit of video is from inside one of the pods on the London Eye, which is basically a gigantic Ferris wheel that is, oh, I don’t know, a couple hundred feet tall? I suppose I could look for the info online, but I am too lazy. Anyway, you get a great view of central London and along the Thames.

The next day I visited the Tate Modern Museum (which is, somewhat unsurprisingly, a museum of modern art.) As you walk in, one half of the entire ground floor is devoted to a exhibit featuring giant sculptures, and a little story explains that it has been raining continuously for years, and the sculptures have started to grow, watered by the rain. So they brought them inside, into the shelter set up to keep people away from the rain. It was a weird little story, but the exhibit was nonetheless impressive.

The news media said that London was hit the last two days with the worst snow in two decades… having been to Tahoe and Mammoth during snow storms, it didn’t seem bad at all to me. But apparently the transportation department didn’t salt the roads, and didn’t plow them until later on today, leaving thousand of Londoners without buses to take. And to make things worse, many of the underground train lines were non-functional, and the ones that were running were severely delayed.

Luckily for me, I didn’t have anywhere pressing to be, so I just decided to try to get to the center of London and bum around. Despite an strong urge to do a headfirst dive through some of the snow drifts, I restrained myself… barely.
