• Ceri gave Tom some tickets for The Falkirk Wheel that she couldn't use so we invited Mum & Dad to go on it with us.
• 
• Tom was really excited about the wheel, but my Mum and I weren't too sure what to expect and how it would work but we like boat trips, so we were happy to tag along.
• 
• The Falkirk Wheel replaced a series of lochs connecting the Clyde canal to the Union canal with a rotating boat lift.
• Boats travelling from Glasgow to Edinburgh, can take their a spin around the wheel for free but there are also passenger boats that anyone can pay to go on.
• 
• 
• I was impressed by how smooth the lift was. It was hard to tell that we were even moving until you looked out the window and saw the water below.
• 
• Once at the top, the boat took a little 5 minute trip down the canal and back again before the wheel rotated us down to where we started.
• 
• I giggled when I spotted the keys for the wheel had a cork keyring so that they'd float.
• 
• Tom shot a timelapse video of our trip.
