We head to London Gatwick airport. We were book on FlyBe. Yes that is an Airline. It is actually the budget airline of British Airways. Well we check in and head through security. Man that was a ZOO. At Gatwick Airport you wait in the ccenter of the airport until they post you gate. It was interest…

A bit hungover after a great night at Bar 55 last night, didn't get up till 1 pm, ooofff my head :( I had some time to kill before the EURO 2008 Final so I did a bit of sightseeing, atleast stuff I haven't seen before in London.  I checked out the Tower Bridge, the Financial District, the Gher…

For a while.  Pictures of stone animals in the capital.  I don't know if I can be bothered though.These two are on my walk to work.

Last year in September I visited London for the first time. Love the underground and busses. So travel in London is so so nice! You can get anywhere at anytime. And London does not have to cost much! Ofcourse you need to go in the eye of London (oké this is expensive), see the (not …

Once again we started the day with big plans to see LOTS of things in London. And once again, we were foiled by one really excellent museum, where we ended up spending the whole day. It was a really good day though. We started by taking the Underground to Tower Hill station. When we exited, we foun…

Our last real day of the tour began with, gosh, a bus trip! Haha.  A short trip to Blenham Palace for an hours tour. Again inside we were not allowed pictures. It's a beautiful building and the grounds, gardens and statues are wonderful. Like all Palaces in the United Kingdom the garden…

Lao-tzu said 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step' so obviously if you are going further than that you need to head to the airport :-) . Early start, had to be at airport for 5am for flight to Gatwick and connection to Madrid

I went to London to see the Miami Dolphins play against the NY Giants. I had a great time. London is really beautiful. Wembley is one of the nicest stadiums I have been in.

I was up the entire night, sleeping maybe two hours because my room was like a sauna (and it smelled like dirty socks which I couldn't figure out- it smelled that way when I arrived).  I just laid there until the alarm went off and had a quick breakfast before the meeting.  The meeting or…

One of the great joys of the British Summertime is the hope of catching a food fair.  The deal tends to be that you pay three or four pounds to get in, and then you get to see demo cooking, buy amazing food, and, most importantly, score many, many free samples of foods.  As a rule, these …

4,000 years it's been there, and it still can't fly. G'day viewers, Mike & Mal Leyland here. We were hoping to be going travelling around our big beaut country of ours with our home movie camera and showing you, the people at home, just what it's like - so you don't actually have to go…

Breakfast was at 7:45 this morning.  Today we were slated for a driving tour of London and then given the rest of the day to explore the city.  We boarded the bus and were carted around and saw the major sights such as Tower of London, Westminster, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, etc…

  I didn’t have to get up too early on the morning of the flight.  My lovely colleague had invited me to stay with her family overnight, in Reading, so I could just get the express bus to Heathrow in the morning.  This made a huge, huge difference to the day and saved me the costs…
