DAY 2 - KOREA -> LONDON




















We got to bed about midnight NZ time last night- after checking for emails from home and posting the blog for family. Feel like I have had my breath denied if I cant get access haha!! Pity it costs about $13 an hour, but hey thats the price it is and actually last time if was often alot more than that, but with having our own laptop and one now that is so small and lightweight, it is so easy.

The Hyatt regency hotel was great, really clean.Take a look at the photo of their glassed wine cellar- it is huge. Graeme would have loved to have sat in there with a bottle or two!
Rooms were great too- Bed VERY hard but strangely not uncomfortable and we slept until 3am (6am NZ time) but went back to sleep. Was SO great to lie flat and have showers. Dont know how those that go straight through do it for 24 + hours. Both our heads feel like they want to explode (well not quite that bad) but getting off and into the fresh air is great, coupled with a break in between- then we land nice and fresh not shattered. Maybe our heads feel the pressure more cos we are so brainy??!! haha

We went out for a walk around the hotel- vast areas of nothing out by the airport, but we werent near Incheon city to be fair and there is a shopping mall but shut before 10am. Think the develpoment all came about after the world cup soccer and the olympics. Wasnt anywhere near as humid or muggy as Malaysia was either, which was good.

Now taking advantage of the free internet access in their prestige class lounge, while we can before boarding for London in 1 1/2 hours, then 12 hour flight, bus to Victoria station maybe 40 mins and a few mins walk to the hotel!

Hi Guys, careful rubbing in the BC travel perks............we are the cattle class AND doing the long haul as well, 2 hour's only in LA so will be rolling off the plane in London looking like frankenstein (Grace will be a box of fluffys no doubt!) :-) One more day of work to drag myself through........been very busy catching up before going away, but at least its all done then. Sounds like you are off to a good start, looking forward to our dinner, should have woken up by then X

It's just after 11pm here Wednesday. I've not long arrived home from work - all good. Danni was a barrel of fun when she talked to Poppa tonight. He said she was full of cheek. That's our girl. Haven't caught up about the birthday cake but am e-mailing her tonight.

Keep on truckin' - er- flyin'.
