Well, we have landed safe and sound - all I can say is that I will never whinge about a 4 hour flight in Australia again!!!! After 24 hours it was so nice to stand up and stretch!
We had a transfer arranged to our hotel and then after quick shower (seriously needed) we went to organise SIM cards and find some tea. First meal in an English pub - yum.
Considering it is now 4am Monday morning Aussie time, we are doing really well to stay awake for another hour (its only 7.30pm Sunday UK time) as breakfast is 7.45am and then we are on the bus at 9am to visit the London RSPCA.
So glad I already had British Pounds exchanged as I was able to use them in Abu Dhabi and straight away at Heathrow. My UK SIM card has activated with no probs, so I'm good to go.
No sure if any of this actually makes sense as I'm so tired that the room is tilting a wee bit.....
Will update tomorrow and start adding pics!
Huge thanks to everyone for their best wishes and support in getting me here xx
knowing how much you love your sleep, I am having a giggle to myself imagining you trying to stay awake, with bubbles of excitement adding an extra dimension to you and lack of sleep. Wish I was there to see it first hand LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou were well organised so of course everything going to plan on your first day there. no doubts at all. keep smiling, and thanks for the update. x
Having the British Pounds on hand is a great travel tip to remember thanks Renee.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you can share some animal stories from the visit to the RSPCA. What animals did you see there? asks Emerson. Asks Laura, what did you eat at the English Pub. How is the weather? How is London town?
