Happy New Year

Gondola ride in Cambridge

Our little "snug" cabin at Lee Valley Campsite in
Sewardstone, Essex (14mi from London)

 While Jeff & Chloe slept in the New Year, I stayed up until midnight to see the fireworks on TV from London Eye which was amazing.

2nd leg of our flight.  MA0004 from KL to Heathrow

I forgot to mention in my post just after we arrived, that it was amazing on the flight to fly over such countries as: Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova (I said hi Ian & Viv but knew you were back in Aus), India (New Dehli), Berlin, Warsaw, Turkey, Kiev.  Flying at 38000 ft, travelling 14000miles.  The weather has still been cold, still no snow but cold enough to wear a few jumpers while we go out.  Not forgetting beanies, scarves and gloves.

Waiting in line for the London Eye. With us were Mark, Kylie
& Eva Hamilton. Friends from church who flew over Christmas
night for a holiday.

Anyway, latest update:  London the past few days seeing such sights so far (Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, shopping in Regent St, Covent Gardens market, various tube stations). New Years Day we went for a drive to Cambridge and even though it was a cold day, the gondola ride to see the universities was just amazing.  Monday we will be doing the sightseeing double decker bus tour and stopping off at the places we haven't seen yet.
