Good Vibes Only...

Hey Travel Lover

“It’s such a happiness when good people get together” - Jane Austen. I agree with this quote 100% and it kind of summarizes this week’s read. Do you agree with Jane Austen?

I wrote an article on Ferris wheel in 2021, catch up here and made a promise to myself that the next Ferris wheel on my bucket list would be the London Eye. I didn’t understand why as a tourist I hadn’t seen London in thirty minutes on the “eye”

Fast-forward to 2024, I was finally going to London after my self-imposed hiatus and one of my to-dos was a visit to the London Eye, DEFINITELY.

Now, my friend Endee, was to be in London at about the time my vacation was to end, we however had an overlap day and decided to meet up at the London Eye. She also hadn’t been and thought it would be nice we tick it off our bucket list together, so we purchased our tickets.

Then, my friends, AK and AD were also going to be in London the same time as Endee. We decided to meet up and I asked if they had been on the London Eye, they hadn’t as well. I gave the time and date and they got their tickets

Finally, I saw my friend, Doc, post a picture which looked like she was in Scotland. I buzzed her and mentioned we were almost neighbors as I was in London, she mentioned she was in London too and I asked my now favorite question, have you been on the London Eye? She hadn’t. I told her a group of us had planned to meet there and she asked for time and date and got her ticket.

The meet-up day was interesting, Doc was first to arrive, closely followed by AK and AD, and then I arrived with my brother and finally Endee made an appearance. Let me state here that these ladies were meeting each other for the first time, and it was all good vibes, fun and laughter right from the introductions.

We took pictures and videos, while meandering to get on the London Eye, then inside the Eye it was laughter, pictures, more laughter, and more pictures. I honestly don’t think we focused on the iconic landmarks while we were up there. We were such a boisterous crowd, we drew the attention of the other tourists that shared the pod with us.

The highpoint for me after we got off the London Eye was the 360 street dance on our way home, we asked the operator for Nigerian music and danced away. Some other tourists made videos and took pictures as we danced. I’m sure we are trending somewhere, lol!

So, Travel Lover, do you agree with Jane Austen? Can you remember a time you met with a friend or friends while on vacation? Have you been on the London Eye? Let us know your responses in the comments section.

Till Next Week

Live, Love, Laugh
