Well I am in the United Kingdom and it was a long and fatiguing. After a delay with taking off from Singapore, I was on my way. The flight itself was good and I had a much better seat this time, window and all (there will be pictures when I get a chance). I didn't get much sleep as the seat when I tried to sleep gave my neck all manner of pain. But I did watch 3 movies and read the book work gave me (an interesting read).
After landing it was check in and customs. I must say one thing here in the negative, Heathrow sucks. A rat warren of corridors and poor signage. Anyway once I got onto the Underground 'tube' and to Russell Court or something like that. Got lost getting to the hotel. Up to my room and slept a good 12 hours and still got up at 8 o'clock the next morning.
Had a wander around the area (and got lost agian). Its a beautiful city, in its old buildings with amazing archecture that you just don't see anymore. A note that need to be made; streets only seem to go one way.
