The Plane Journey
Sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while I have been busy traveling from South Africa to London on a 12 hour flight that wash't actually that bad. The weather was lovely and we had all the times figured out and at about 4:00pm we found out our flight was at 6:50pm not 10:00pm! We raced through the traffic all the way there and made it with the rain pouring down and us getting soaked to the skin. We made it to our flight and I managed to have a sort of good sleep.
Some Facts about the Olympics
I watched the opening ceremony, which depicted the history of England through the industrial revolution to modern times. Everybody in England is enjoying hosting the 30th modern Olympic Games. 204 countries are competing (republics etc) in 36 sports.
I will spend my time in England visiting family and friends but I will keep you updated on my journey throughout Europe. By the way it's the middle of summer in England so I'm getting used to the sun going down at 9:00pm and the sun coming up at 5:00am. Keep you updated!
Weather in the Bay today is windy and rainy -- so I can't wait to get some sunshine when I catchup with you xx
ReplyDeleteLooks great, your new profile picture makes you look like you've changed heaps! Any way hope you receive my new email, and could please tell us what events you'll be seeing in London, at the Olympics!
