Well the long anticipated day has arrived. After very little sleep and a short cab ride to the airport, at 1.45 am no less, we checked in and then waited for the 5am flight. Nice Emirates 777_300 with aisle seats opposite, bloody #@$&+@# in front had to have her seat fully back from takeoff to landing for the whole 14 hours, karma will get you blonde not so young, yellow spray tan woman trying to look 20 !!! I did however sit next to a lovely young couple who had just got married in Byron bay and were on their honeymoon to Dubai and Amsterdam. Very pleasant couple with manners unlike yellow skin.
Landed in Dubai for the 2 hour stopover and very large it is, but think I prefer Singapore. Next time to Europe going to break these flights, just too long all at once, unless your probably in business Mr McAuley.
So onto London in my first A380 and lovely they are with what appears to be more space, except for Mr Creosote in front who does the same bloody thing as yellow tan, would not even put it up for meals, ( not that yellow tan did either) what is wrong with you people, manners, consideration of others, thankyou !!!

Finally landed in London and after a quick exit through customs, got on the Heathrow train to Paddington. Told to buy a ticket on the train by the conductor to find no machine on the train. So all the way in " persons without tickets will be fined" . Great. At the exit just walked past the conductor and through the pram exit no problem, off to get a cab. Not likely, we have arrived on Bank Holiday Monday during the largest Carnivale in Europe ( still not out of the EU yet) and there are just people in Rio costume everywhere. Roads blocked off etc. We ask the station Staff what to do ( playing the tired, just in from 24 hour flight from Australia card)? She let us through onto tube and said just catch one stop to Bayswater and tell them at the other end I said to let you through without a ticket. Like this going to work, karma is coming back from the last trip, but no she was right, they did and welcomed us to the UK, love the British . ( PS and saved £50 already )
Somehow got through the people and drunks etc and found our way to the accommodation, let's just say overstated description is best because Deluxe suite in Executive apartments they are not. No air con, but we can open the window and use a fan. Oh well bed looks great ( except even my feet hang over the end) after very little sleep in the last 48 hours and tomorrow is my first day in London. Here we go.
