Hey guys!
Well, we're in England and it's currently 7:30am, and we've just woken up from a long sleep :)
We had a 15 hour flight to Dubai which was very long, but I slep for 9 hours of it and there were plenty of movies,games and tv to entertain ourselves. However, Mum and Dad barely slept at all :S so they were veeery tired.
The Dubai airport was an expereince! The architecture of the place was amazing, and very flashy, so many lights and amazing water fountains within the airport. But I have to say that the toilets weirded us all out abit. There was a woman who briefly cleaned the cubicle after someone left it and opened the door for you as you entered. A tad strange lol.
We enjoyed stretching our legs at Dubai, but Mum and Dad were very tired and just wanted to get to England already!

So we caught the A380 (a huuuuge plane) to London for a 7 hour flight that got delayed half an hour. I watched plenty of movies such as toy story 3, valentines day, the last song and a whole bunch of others so I was entertained :) but by this point we were all getting a bit sick of airline food haha. Mum and Dad unfortunately did not sleep on this flight either.
Once we arrived in London we felt the cold straight away! It's around 7 degrees here at midday :S which is pretty crazy! We collected our car and rugged up in our coats ready to get going :)
We headed towards Windsor, through the craaaazy hectic traffic to see the Windsor castle. We couldn't get too close, but it was pretty amazing! And we got a chance to have a look at Eton, and drive past Prince William and Harry's old school, which was pretty cool! Eton looked like the typical English town that you see in Postman Pat haha. The houses make you feel like you're in a movie set, they're just so beautiful! :)
We arrived at our hotel in Reading at around 5:00pm England time. Which for those of us who haven't slept felt like 3 am Aus time haha. So we got here and by 7:00pm we were all asleep. So we slept for about 12 hours last night. Which was nice! So we're all feeling very rested and ready for the relaxing country drive ahead of us today :) We're headed to Leciester today, so that should be nice.
Have to go and get rugged up now, as it's soooooo sooooo cold outside haha. (by the way, it's supposed to be snowing here in London on Saturday, when we return here!) But I'll try and get on and blog again sometime as soon as possible! :)
By the way, a big thanks to Ellen for sending me my SAIs! I was very pleased :)
Miss you all!
Love,
