Well today is Sunday, and with a lovely start to the day it seems a great day to check out St Pauls Cathedral, so since my feet are feeling a bit sore it is off to the tube I go.

Because i was early i got on the earlier flight to Sydney which was a good thing as it took forever to get through security. Luckily i was able to upgrade my leg to Hong Kong to premium economy, this was great nice big seats and lots of spoiling with drinks upon boarding and brandy or baileys for after. Flight to Hong Kong was smooth, although there…
