London

The flight to London was pretty good, we fitted a few movies in which was quite good. I watched Gran Torino (excellent) while Kirsten used the opportunity to catch up on her chick flicks and watched Bride Wars which she said wasn’t bad. We both watched In the Loop, a political comedy set in the lead up in the Iraq war which was quite funny, full of outrageous swearing and much double dealing. Once we landed I went through a medium grilling from the border security guy but it wasn’t too bad. He seemed quite perplexed as to where we were going to live when we returned to Australia (we had to explain how we were funding the trip) but we got him onto talking about festivals and that seemed to relax him a bit. We had a hire car (sadly with no GPS - for shame Qantas car hire!) and a hotel booked, so with the trusty aid of our nine year old London A-Z we found our hotel without too much difficulty.
