Compared with Singapore, the heat and humidity in London were more than bearable, though the hotel I'd chosen did its best to contradict that. Arriving at 7AM and being told I couldn't check in until 2PM was par for the course, but that didn't explain why the room was so hot and stuffy that just lying on the bed made me sweat.
I spent a couple of days in London and met up with a few friends (including, unexpectedly, a guy I used to work with 7 years ago who I bumped into while waiting to meet someone else - take a bow, Mr Chris Christodoulou). I then headed up north to the family mansion, where the next 6 weeks were to include celebrating my parents' 40th wedding anniversary and my Dad's 80th birthday, followed by a family holiday to Corsica.
My current thinking is that once the family events are out of the way, I'll spend the rest of the year in Australia then will come home for Christmas. January 2007 should see me start travelling through South-East Asia, though at the moment I have no schedule or end date for that.
Feel free to join me
again mid-September.
