We have arrived

Welcome to our blog!

So we have arrived safe and sound in London-town, with pleasant weather thrown in as an added bonus. As Brendan's first international flight, he found the 25 hour journey looooong. He says that the worst part was around the 6 hour mark, knowing it was 4am in Australia, not even half way through the first half of the first flight and watching everyone else (including me!) sleep around him. Other than that it wasn't too bad and he was able to catch some sleep on the next flight after a brief delay on our flight from Abu Dhabi.

We got into London at 1.30pm Monday afternoon and managed to stay awake until 8pm before crashing. Brendan is constantly in awe of everything, so when we woke briefly at 1am he had to go and check outside the hotel window to make sure that we were still in London!

Our first full day in London has been spent walking around (in chilly weather with blue skies and sunshine) to some of the tourist attractions such as the Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace. We also set up our blog, got our UK mobiles as well as a bank account - so much productivity!

Our UK mobile numbers are, Brendan +44 7990 430 307 and Ros +44 7990 430 301 or you can also text and call us via Viber.

We shall keep this blog updated as our adventures continue - thanks for reading!
