I boarded my flight to London which took a whopping twelve hours, arriving at 7am and heading straight to Acton to hand over my passport. I delivered my passport to the Tucan office and did some printing. I meant to print out a lot more stuff than I actually managed, but as I was already half dead I forgot most of it. After I had finished at the office, I went to have a look around London. I went to Oxford Street for lunch, I remember thinking, I was shoppin...

At last it was time to board my flight, at 3:30am. It's a great thing to start a mammoth journey like this….tired out of your head. I went and sat n the departure lounge and they boarded the flight at around 4:30am, the time it was supposed to take off, final TIA moment to see me off.

I am about to embark on a tour of Western Europe (leading it of course), from London, through France, Switzerland, Italy...

Admin day part two. I had a bit of a sleep in this morning as my appointment at the Home Office wasn't until 11:45am. When I got up I sealed up the box and had a look on the internet to see if there was a post office close by. There was one on Borough high street, so I decided to walk to it with out the box to see how far up the high street it actually was.
