...just touched down in Londontown

Made it here finally after delays on every flight, and a 5 hr delay in Melbourne.

Hong Kong looked fun, wish we got to see some of it, but it was 2am HK time by the time we got there, so we just crashed, here is the view from the hotel.....



London is massive and nowhere near as expensive as we thought it was going to be, were staying in North Greenwich with Angies cousin, cool spot, easy to get around. This is in near-by Greenwich villiage, the place where time began...



Did a whole lot of touristy stuff the last couple of days, Westminster, Buckinhgam Palce, Trafalgar Square etc. Pretty amazing, everything is so old and regal and grand. Its amazing to think of how much this city has witnessed over so many years, Kings and Queens and all the royal pomp and ceremony, wars and bombings, Jack the Ripper, etc etc, its so old when compared with the big cities in Australia, there is really nothing to compare it to.





Today were going to Notting Hill and having drinks in Kensington after work with Nicky B.

We will check back soon.....
