2007 New Years Eve: London

It's late, but hey at least I did it. 2007 New Years Eve celebrations were pretty unorganised, given that I had just came back from Prague over Christmas. In the end, Margie, Vaughn, Ian and I headed down to Embankment, opposite the London Eye (coincidently along with hundreds of thousands of Londoners) to watch the fireworks.

I was really impressed, the eye was lit up with flashing lights on the lead up to the big event, and when it hit 2007, fireworks were launched off it and river barges. Unlike the fireworks in Brisbane, these were not syncronised to any music what so ever. Like all London events, once the fireworks ended the crowd rushed towards the nearest public transport (tube, buses). Luckily the public transport was free for the night, just crowded. Horray for 2007.

Ha, Sounds like New York. You camp out in Times Square for 6 hours then by 12:15am the streets are deserted.
