Nu er vi kommet til London. Vi stod op kl. 4:30, så det blev kun til 4 timers søvn for mit vedkommende. Vi har næsten 5 timers ventetid, før maskinen til Miami afgår. Tania har undersøgt de fleste butikker for souvenirs og smykker - men hun er heldigvis kommet frem til at hun kan handle når vi kommer til London på hjemturen.

Of all the flights I have purchased in the past eleven months, none have been as disastrous as my trip to Newquay, thanks to Ryanair Don'tgetyou there. Sorry it has been so long since I updated my blog, but I returned home unexpectedly early and have spent the last three months in France with my mum. On Tuesday 19th I flew from Limoges to Stansted, intending to catch the evening flight to Newquay to spend a few days with my dad.

We landed on time, a fact accompanied by much fanfare from RyanAir who played an announcement over the aircraft tannoy ... read more

So, this morning began with a flurry at the rather ungoldy hour of about 5 am, but as I couldn't really sleep (combination of excitement and a truly shitty bed) it really didn't matter. Last night, after writing, I wandered around the dark streets of London and had my first proper pint of Guinness at a rather crappy and trendy bar next to The "Imperial" called the Night and Day Pub.

The only place open to get any sort of food was ... read more
