Good. Exciting to see London from another side, both from the air and from the river. O2 Arena was also exciting to see.

We had to wait for nearly...
We had to wait for nearly 40 minutes as the first Uber boat which left the Battersea Power station at 1302 didn’t allow one of us who was wheelchair bound. The next boat was for Tower Bridge so couldn’t board and waited for another 20 minutes. Rest of the trip was great.
