In London!

Well. . .we're here! A full 24 hours after we left Sydney, we arrived in London on a beautiful summer's day! We were completely shattered - not really having slept a whole lot on the plane. The kids were fantastic on the way over - amusing themselves with the personal entertainment devices available to them (movies and games - what more could they want?). Zoe suffered a little with a sore ear on and off and cried a bit. . .but then there were a lot of other little ones with the same problem.

We were very impressed with the A380. . .what a smooth ride! Andrew and Steven (normally sensitive air travellers) were completely unphased by take off and landing. That was such a relief!

We arrived at our apartment at about 2.30pm. It's spacious, well-equipped and incredibly close to Tower Bridge(the top of which we can see from our balcony) and the Thames.

We took a walk around for the rest of the afternoon (after unpacking and refreshing ourselves) - though it didn't take long before the kids were starting to get tired and we made our way "home" for an early night.

It's 4.15 am as I write and the sun is already rising and we're planning our first day out and about. Going to try and get some Wimbeldon tickets (though not really expecting to be that lucky!).
