*Again, sorry no photos. I have caught up with Jason here in london now so we should have some in the next couple of days*

Ok. We're here in London and what do you know, it's pissing with rain. But I'll get to that in a sec. First things first let's talk about the flight.

We left Thailand at 1:15 am this morning. We arrived here in London at 6:15 this morning, transit time: 12 hours. So after an inflight meal and 6 hours of not the most comfortable sleep we've ever had, we woke up to face today, at 2am local time. It is now 10:20, so if this post has spelling errors, it's because I have been awake for 20 hours.

Not the most productive day ever, but fun nonetheless. We spend a good couple of hours post flight this morning fighting our way through the hordes in immigration and on the tube. We checked in here, and decided on some lunch. We each had a kebab, they were the biggest I have ever seen, but then they'd want to be for 4 pound 50 ($11!)

We met up with Jason and decided to contast our Bangkok shopping experience with a trip to that famously and hideously expensive department store, Harrods. Holy cow some people must hate money. We got a bit of a giggle out of some things. For example, there is a designer grungy AC/DC, complete with the faded look for a miserly 80 quid. And also some fleecy tracky bottoms with a silly logo on the arse of them, a steal at 200 quid. The bogans back in Australia are sitting on a gold mine!

Anyway, the rest of the day was largely spent drinking, chatting and relaxing. We did manage to get in a pilgrimage to Abbey Road, and of course Karen had to take the obligatory photo of me on that famous level crossing. Getting home proved to be a bit of a pain, since there was a thunderstorm and driving rain and half of the trains in the tube stopped working. But we got here in the end.
