Bon Voyage

Day 1

Flight 1: Melbourne to Dubai

I boarded the plane and found my window seat, I found myself secured in by an African man named Friday and an Afghan man that owned a restaurant on Brunswick street called the Afghan Gallery both were nice.

As some will know I don't touch people but this did not occur to Friday by the end of the flight he had fallen asleep on me, touched my food, spelt his name on my leg, shared his food via projectile spit and thought it was the nice thing to wake me up and tell me he was going to the toilet. So after all of that, one bottle of Detol antiseptic liquid and an argument on how far Dubai is from Australia I made it safe, sound and groped to Dubai.

Flight 2 : Dubai to London

I upgraded my flight to Business Class for this part of the trip which was a mistake I don't think I will ever be able to fly economy again, when you fly Business Class you have access to the airlines lounges so I went and checked out the Emirates Business Class Lounge it had a restaurant, spa, private bathrooms and lots more which made the stop a refreshing break.

When I landed in London I took advantage of my complimentary chauffeur and was dropped of at Canary Wharf to my cousin Nikki's apartment, I instantly feel in love with Canary Wharf it is unlike any part of London it has a certain resemblance to New York it is hard to explain why but you will notice the resemblance in my pictures below.

After a quick shower and ditching the summer clothes i was straight on The Tube to Victoria station to meet Nikki after work, After a quick coffee and and my investment into another scarf from some random shop we headed to Hyde Park to see the Winter Wonderland Carnival this is where I found my new winter drink Hot Chocolate with a shot of Amaretto....yummy

After freezing in Hyde Park and warming up with Hot Chocolates and Mulled Wine we headed to Antonio Carluccio's Restaurant at Canary Wharf in one word AMAZING.
