Hmm.,... well marathon flighting is definetly NOT my favorite thing... Yester day we began in St Kitts at 3.. Flew to miami, then an 8 hour flight to London over night....
Landed this morning and have 12 hours to have fun... So we take the Underground into the city and walk around abit... Me, the stupid one forgot to bring tennis shoes and was stuck walking around the cold city with flip flops (imagine the looks that I got!!) but it meant that I 'allowed' myself to buy a new pair of shoes (everything turned out amazing). And the great thing about using a currency that is worth more then US, is that EVERYTHING seems cheap... 15 Pounds for shoes sounds like 15 dollars and I was happy to shell it out thinking that I got a deal... turns our 15 pounds is more like 30 dollars, making the whole deal alot less attractive!!
But we saw Big Ben, crammed into a British 'telly' and drank ale at a pub...
Now we are getting ready for the rest of our trip to begin as we are checking grades in the British Airways terminal at Heathrow Airport. Ahead of us we have an 11 hour trip to Johannesburg, South Africa.. But for now we are feeling pretty posh as we walkaround the high class stores and restaurants. And to top it all off, they serve you complimentary Grey Goose martinis!!
Well, wish me luck! Wish that I could upload the pictures so far, but the airport computers arent exaclty set up for that!!
