Finding joy

Today I went to London for the day. I was meeting friends at the Excel Centre, which is usually accessed via Docklands Light Railway. Today, DLR was closed for engineering works.

I could've travelled on the tube to Canning Town and walked, but then I realised I could go on the Emirates Air Line instead. The Air Line is a fabulous cable car that crosses the Thames. I'd been on it with Amber this summer and loved it.

It was an extravagance as it cost unnecessary Oyster credit, but it's so much fun I decided to treat myself. It was early morning so it was really quiet. I ended up getting a whole car to myself. It was AMAZING! Such an awe-inspiring view, in complete silence, it was breathtaking. I'm so glad I did it.

    Hey Alicey,

    I love moments like that. I never regret the little extra I put in to get the lot extra back out.

    Also, I couldn't figure out how to search and add you on Fitbit, but below is the link to my profile -- please find and add me!

    Thanks for commenting! I've added you on Fitbit just now. I got lots of steps yesterday walking in London but today I didn't get up until lunchtime so it's going to be pathetic. Don't judge me! My steps are pretty erratic but I do wear it every day :)
