We had a great flight over - business class is wonderful, but difficult to justify the extra cost. On the first leg from Auckland the seats were so far apart that we had to get out of the seat and walk to get the menu out of the back of the seat in front. Food was delicious and all spices were within Gillian's tolerance level.
Arrived in London, straight through immigration and picked up the rental car. 3 miles down the road realised that the fuel light was on and we were about to head on to the M25 with an empty tank! Quick trip back to the depot for a refill. Weather is a typical English summer - 15C and drizzly.
Tried to find our way to Runnymede and got totally lost, so headed straight to Staplehurst where we are staying with our friends Sue & Steve Baker. After a day lazing around the house and helping set up for a market stall we fell into bed.
Staplehurst
Today has started out wet and cold.
Rod asks what airline do you fly?
ReplyDeleteHehe... good thing you got gas! Can't call the AA from here, can ya?
What were the markets like? I don't know why, I'm visualising a man in a trench coat selling dodgy rolexes...
Wishing you a fabulous holiday!!
