Our day began in Bangkok with a 12.00 am wake up to be ready for a 3.00 am flight. We left a muggy warm Bangkok and 7 hours later arrived in muggy warm Dubai. Three hours later we left Dubai for the 7 hour flight to London. As the plane dropped altitude over the channel we entered rain and wind. Visibility was zero. Watching the approach to Heathrow on the forward-facing camera was scary stuff. The aircraft was battling a crosswind. In order to fly straight the nose of the plane was aimed 20 degrees to the left of the line of the runway. Somehow our giant flying crab landed beautifully. London was 7 degrees at 3.30 pm. Then the tube and a taxi and we are finally here.
We wore scarves and puffy jackets on a short walk to a nearby restaurant tonight. After travelling for 22 hours we are ready to sleep.
