We Have Arrived In London

Tuesday 16 August 6.25am GMT

Arrived in London at 4pm yesterday after a great trip with Malaysia Airlines. It was worth the money. As we were descending, we were very excited as you are directly over central London and are able to see many of the famous landmarks and the bridges over the river Thames.
We had arranged for a driver to meet us and it only took about half an hour for us to get to the hotel. We were surprised as the traffic seemed to be no worse than in Sydney and Brisbane at that time of day. We are sure this will not always be the case. On our way we came through some of the upmarket suburbs like Kensington and Knightsbridge and the famous Earls Court. The city looks very picturesque when you come through these suburbs.
Booked into our hotel and our room is pretty good for the money we paid. It is clean and a reasonable size for London. We went out for a quick walk to find a convenience store and check out the surrounding neighbourhood. We then went back to the hotel, had our sandwich, a shower and were in bed by 7.30pm GMT (4.30am EST).
 Have had a good night’s sleep and will be off on the Hop On Hop Off Bus today to get our bearings direction wise and do a little sightseeing.
