Made it!!
From start to finish pretty much took us 24 hours. Set down this morning in London. Really simple and painless trek through the airport. Hansen did mention at the border check-in that he was a public servant and on further prompting said he was a chemical engineer… which then dragged out copies of our itinerary. Where exactly we are going in the UK and the rest of Europe and another five minutes of questioning.
Got an easy bus to the hotel. Couldn’t be happier with pre booking a room for the night. Quiet rooms and nice plush surroundings are going down well. Just about to hit up the concierge for the best options to head to Windsor castle. It’s also see your breath cold and Jen forgot her warm jacket so some serious layering is happening before we set foot outside again.
Here in one piece, safe and sound. All mums should relax 😉
Sorry but one mum not particularly worried once you made it to Sydney airport. Windsor Castle is an interesting choice first up. Go have fun.Barbara
I’m already loving the updates! Oh and seeing everyone else’s comments, it’s like a great big Kambah reunion 🙂 Hope you guys have a great time and can stay warm -Al I prescribe lots of cuddles for Jen while she is without a jacket. And Jen I prescibe some European shopping to get a new one – very nice ploy, “forgetting” to pack your jacket!!! 🙂 Love you heaps! Xx
It’s good that you have great digs to start with. Explore and have fun 🙂
I found your blog post while searching google. Pretty surprising too, since google usually displays relatively old results but this one is very recent! Anyway, very informative, especially since this is not something a lot of people tend to write something good about. Take care…
Thanks for the update – good to know you’re there. Jen, you definitely have a good excuse to go shopping for a jacket! Checked out your accommodation on the internet; very nice and not far from Windsor Castle. Hope you liked Windsor as much as we did!
WOOP!Good to hear you guys have arrived safe n sound….Did you have any luck with that upgrade to business class?
Hope you have more time at Windsor than we did..somehow…45 mins is just not enough!
Looking forward to the posts that are yet to come….safe travels!
Hey jen,al,hansen and pix

Have a great time – Phil and Janet
