After the Transport Museum, we went on the Eye. Thanks to a quirk of timing, we had an entire compartment to ourselves.

Previous to getting on the actual ride we went to the “4D experience,” which is essentially a 3D movie with dry ice and the occasional water effect to get viewers wet, plus extremely loud music. As we were leaving it, I heard a kid say, half-admiring and half-sarcastic, “That was the STUPIDEST THING EVER!”

And indeed it was that instantly recognizable form of dumb that lives by the motto, when in doubt, make it Really Really Loud. Nonetheless, the view was a spectacular as always, even though it was kind of cloudy.

Even my daughter enjoying taking pictures and interacting with the security camera.
