I am tired and arrived

We just landed in London slightly less than three hours ago. I'm very tired, so please excuse me for spelling mistakes and bits that make no sense.

The first leg of the trip was Sydney to Tokyo, and that went alright. I think it clocked in at about 10 hours, and we arrived in the airport there about 6 o'clock Australian time yesterday. We were pretty tired, but we had a surprisingly good dinner and a much needed sleep. Breakfast wasn't as good as the dinner - the bacon was very papery. Ah well.

Half regret only spending a night in Tokyo. There's no way i gave it the time it deserves, but i'm not sure whether i'd want to do a proper tour of Japan or not - the place seems very uptight, a polar opposite to laid-back Thailand. Hmmm... as i say, not sure. Irrelevant at the moment.

The second leg was a good deal longer - slightly over twelve hours. Interestingly the flight path took us up through Russia and took us over pretty much the width of Siberia. It's such an incredibly bleak place that it makes Australian deserts seem feature filled. A road we saw practically qualified as a tourist attraction.

We had a very nice cabbie who got us to our hotel in good time and gave us the lowdown on what was going on in London at the moment. Unfortunately he was a Tory, but noone's perfect.

The hotel seems nice, but i haven't had a proper look over it yet as we went for a wander and had dinner at a local Greek place. The food was very nice, and i assume the local Greek community likes it because we were sat down to some nice Greek gentleman who i can only assume were the local representatives of the Greek mafia discussing about how someone 'might have an accident at work'. Ah, feel the culture.

So all in all i am very tired but happy to be here. I will definitely be getting a bit of a sleep-in tomorrow, and then we'll work out our sightseeing schedule.
