After an indecent amount of travel time, TOTM has touched down in London! We were in the air for a total of 25 hrs travelling via Sydney, Brisbane, Brunei (3hr stopover)and Dubai. Dubai was a short and intense experience-we arrived at midnight, left the plane in 34c heat, were herded onto a bus, hurried through a magnificent terminal (try dragging teenage girls through a luxurious and vibrant shopping complex full of bright and shiny objects and not letting them stop!) and loaded back onto the bus back to the plane!
Arriving at Heathrow at 6-25 am we were all desperate for a shower! Transferring to Terminal 4 we lined up and 30 minutes later felt much more human (at least, as human as you can be suffering from severe sleep deprivation!). We would like to say THANKYOU to a woman we got chatting to while waiting to shower (Elizabeth) who after asking what it was we were doing, promptly handed the girls a 10GBP donation!
Onto the Underground, we travelled into our hotels and spent the remainder of the day walking around the Tower of London and across the Tower Bridge. The girls had amused themselves
during all of the travel by inventing a game called "Hotto Spotto"...and continued it in London!
Managing to keep them awake long enough to eat a meal at the Minories Pub, we fell exhausted into bed around 8pm-having had a maximum of 4 hours sleep in the past 36hrs...
Today we are continuing to see the sights-watch out London, here we come!
