Karen in Tokyo
Waiting for the bus to our hotel - very hot and humidWell, here we at last. The end of our first week in the United Kingdom!
The flight from Adelaide via Melbourne to Tokyo was Ok and we did not experience any problems except for a short delay to our Adelaide departure due to ice on the wings.
Tokyo (Narita) was very hot and extremely humid. We did enjoy our overnight stay. Next morning went straight to the British Airways lounge for plenty of food and booze.
London flight was good - first time on a Jumbo for me.
The hotel in London was small as was the room, but who needs a big room when you are out and about each day.
Spent a good deal of time walking around London although we did use the Hop On Hop Off bus. Lots and lots of bloody tourists.
The trip to North Wales was an eye opener. Travelled by Virgin Trains from Euston Station - First Class. This included much better seating and hot breakfast. The only bug bear was putting up with the businessmen on the phones - always leaving mobile signal when travelling through tunnels. It was a very fast train trip.

Jimbo's Jumbo
Our plane to take us to Lodon nearly 3 hours we arrived in Rhyl with only 3 stops. Karen was very pleased to see her cousin Kath whom she had not seen for some five years.
I have added some photos for you to view.

lucky buggers!!!
Glad to hear you are enjoying the sights. The photos bring back many memories. Enjoy and think of us mere mortals back here where it is 13 degrees and pissing down! by the way I have given notice at Fitness1st. They sent me a letter that they are upping my subs so I told them I will not pay over $39.95 a fortnight = $1,038.70 per annum. I finish up on 3/9/2008. Dont forget to give the french shit from me. freddie
