EUROPE

Our flight from New York to London was about 10hr with a couple of hours in Zurich on the way. We met a couple of girls from Brisbane at JFK who were also traveling to England for work, they were very nice and we may catch up with them later on. Again Christine watched too much TV on the plane and was very tired for our first day in London.
Our accommodation in Northumberland Hotel, just near Kings Cross Station, £50 per night, was bit of a dive. The toilets weren’t working on our floor and a leaking shower meant we had to move rooms, except the staff forgot to move us, so we had to stay in the same ‘musty’ room.
We spent 3 days organizing agencies, opening a bank account and setting up a mobile phone. We have also applied for a Chinese Visa, so we had to leave our passports in London when we left for Scotland. Our last night in London we went to see the new Harry Potter film, which we both really enjoyed.Next morning we left and headed for Edinburgh on the train, which was only going to take 4-5 hours.
