We survived the 22 hour long flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong to London. Oh man that’s a long flight. We treated ourselves to a first class ticket on the Heathrow Express train to London after all of that. We arrived in London in just 15 minutes. How cool is that! And our hotel is located on the Strand right in the middle of the city.
So far we have done loads of walking, shopping and eating. We have also visited some friends and got in a little bit of site seeing. One thing I don’t particularly like about London is the crowds and the over heated tube. It takes a long time to actually get down to a train and the platforms and train are usually quite hot compared to being outside. But other than that, I quite like London a lot. Yesterday I shopped up a storm on Bond Street and later headed back to check out Covent Garden (which is right by our hotel). And everyone here seems really nice!
Later today we’ll be checking out and heading to Paris on the Eurostar. I wish we had stayed here a little longer.
