OMG! I need to find a millionaire, win the lottery or marry a pilot! Unfortunately none of these will happen so I will have to continue to use my frequent flyer points for an upgrade - yes I flew Business class all the way to London!!
A quick visit to the Qantas lounge for some bubbles before the priority boarding for a glass of, you’ve guessed it, bubbles. It was a great flight. I stamped my feet a couple of times to keep those in cattle class quiet - they were below me as I was on the upper deck! There were so many buttons on the seat that I was like a kid in a sweet shop trying all of them. Feet were going up and down, one minute sitting then lying down and don’t get me started on the massage button!
As you can tell I had fun and slept about 6 hours on the first leg and 3 on the second. Food was great, alcohol as you wished and the room - WOW! Even the pJ’s were good.
Arrived in a cold (-1C) and slightly foggy London but i was soon in the heart of the city and wandering. had dropped my bags but couldn’t check in so headed to Oxford Street for some shopping! Streets weren’t crowded and the sun finally came out.
In the evening I caught up with Kerry and Justin - it was so good to see them both. We went up the Shard, the new tall building in the centre of London. The lift takes seconds to get you to the 67th floor which is the viewing gallery. The view is spectacular but your photos don’t look as good as expected because you’re viewing through glass. A walk up steps takes you to the 72nd floor and it’s rather windy because parts are open to the sky. I did have to hold on to the side a couple of times - my excuse was jetlag not fear!
We then went to Jamies 15 restaurant and the three of us had some great laughs.
