Fireworks at midnight in London
Last night was a spectacle. Waited for 3 hours close to the London eye to watch the fireworks at midnight. These are 'Best fireworks on the planet' as mentioned by the announcer over speaker. There were close to 100,000 people on London bridge, Millenium bridge and embankment watching the fireworks.
Sources tell me that the government spends about 3 million pounds for the fireworks. This includes the fireworks, security, running trains etc. It was well worth the wait for us. There was a countdown from 11:59:00 2007 to 00:00:00 2008 which was amazing. The crowd was screaming 10....9....8...7.......3.....2....1!!! And then the fireworks started. It was mind-blowing.
If any of you happen to be around in London for new year's eve don't miss the fireworks. And remember to get there between 8:30 and 9pm to get a good vantage point.
