Daniel and Felicia came for a quick visit in the UK before travelling in Europe. We took them to several castles we had already visited, but we also made it out to the Falkirk wheel, which I hadn't previously seen. When developing the canals, someone made a bit of an error, and the two ends didn't meet (they were something like 30 m difference in height?). So they developed this fancy wheel, which boats drive into, and then it tilts and takes them up or down. Turns out to have been a brillant mistake; it is a very popular tourist attraction, they must make a killing from it!
