We arrived yesterday in Paris to find that our luggage had not arrived with us - Doh! As British Airways had no idea what had happened to it we were left to head into Paris with only a small day pack....grrr Part two of the drama is that our accommodation was no longer booked as apparently we hadn't called them to say we were arriving late early enough that day. As it was then 10pm at night we made a quick decision to just sleep in two different dorms in a...

Today we spent the day at the fabulous Windsor Castle. It was amazing to think that there are still people who live in these massive places with all their servants etc. And it was even more amazing to think of all those who have previously lived within those massive walls. Where the moat used to be there are now the most beautiful gardens (a sign of how much times have changed). Other amazing sites were the Queen's doll house (the thing to get someone who h...

Today we were shouted a Hop-on/Hop-off tour of London by Will's lovely godmother Heather.

First of all, during the very traditional changing of the guard, th...

We arrived at London Heathrow at the lovely time of 5:45am - not that it mattered much to us as it was a completely different time zone anyway... Will and I were quite delirious upon arrival (especially me as sleeping on transport is something I am yet to master!). Thankfully Will's sister and godmother were there to whisk us away into the English country side. Ok so I am romanticising it a little ;) Windsor (or Winkfield more specifically) was the ideal pl...

The flight from Melbourne was delayed by two and a half hours so a long flight to Hong Kong felt even longer! Despite arriving about 12:30 at night it was still sweltering in Hong Kong. The temperature today was in the high 30s I think but it is the humidity that really wears you out! We were up early today to go on a bus tour of Hong Kong Island (so it felt like we hardly hit the bed last night!). It was well worth doing the bus tour as it saved us the hass...
