Bob took a trip over the river, literally, crossing by air, using the Emirates Airline cable car across the Thames.
Bob had a gondola to himself, and enjoyed a comfortable ride, as the cable car glided smoothly off, like it was leaving a launch-pad, and ascending skywards.
On a sunny day, the views are amazing, along the estuary into Essex on the north side and Kent to the south.
90-100 ft pylons link the cable together, which the gondolas pass through.
The ExCeL Arena is the other side of the river, in the Royal Docks.
LISTEN AGAIN
A number of commuters use the service, and Bob envied the views they get to see on a daily basis, saying it’s not a long journey, but one with views he’d never get fed up with!
The cable car cost around £60 million to complete and comprises a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) gondola line from one end to the other.
There are 36 passenger gondolas, of which 34 are in use at any one time, with a maximum capacity of 10 passengers each.
