๐ŸŒผ London Eye Ferris Wheel : Have you ever seen the London Eye this close? Most people take pictures from across the London Eye, as if they are lifting it up, but not many people take pictures right in front of it. ๐ŸŒ However, the London Eye taken right in front of me captured my heart! The scenery and the atmosphere are so good that I want to give it 100 points. ๐Ÿฅฐ Next time I visit, I want to ride the London Eye myself. I thought a lot about whether to ride it or not, but I gave up and moved because I wanted to see the sunset from somewhere else. I want to come with my boyfriend and leave behind precious memories of this time in London, so that became my bucket list. ๐ŸŒผ #LondonTravel #UKTravel #england #uk #unitedkingdom #london #traveling #safetravel #happynewyear #citytravel
