London

Well after a 12 hour flight we touched down at Heathrow airport at around 6.45 Sat evening. We were pretty weary but managed to catch the underground into Earls Court where we are staying at a backpackers hostel for two nights. The weather here is cool but pleasant, quite a relief from the humidity of Thailand.
The area around the hostel is sooo English. I mean it looks just like the scenes in Knotting Hill. There are little bookshops and a pub on every corner. The Hostel is only a short walk from the station, although after such a long flight and carrying backpack laden with Bangkok shopping, it did seem further! The walk back up the street to grab some tea from Subway was much shorter!
We keep meeting such interesting people on out travels. The man that we had breakfast with each morning in Bangkok is trying to raise funds and get government approval to build hospitals and orphanages for aids orphans. A girl we met on the plane has just spent 8 months volunteering for an aid agency for street kids in Bangkok.
We are now going to sleep after being awake for around 21 hours!
