Went to an Indian restaurant really close to hotel which was amazing. Place v deceptive, looked small but as you went inside the place just kept going on two levels. Food came from the French speaking part of India which I didn't know existed. They called it Creole which I had only ever heard referring to The USA and France before this Creole food was quite quite different to Sweet Mamas KitchenAmazing fish and duck
Quite quite different Indian
I have arrived and now 9:30pm I've had 5 hours sleep over the last 48hours in three short bursts. Managing surprisingly well but ready for a sleep now.
Been really great to see Mark today - twice!
Travel has been relatively straightforward but you certainly know you come from the other side of the world. Was having dinner with the 2 women from Australia tonight; they had an 8hiur flight to Singapore, a 2 hour stopover and then an 11 hour flight to London. NZ just that bit further and the smaller volumes mean longer stopovers I suspect. I know that I go into my own little cocoon and that is a semi- comatose one! (Though not alcohol induced)
Today I have walked my legs down to the ankles because I couldn't get into hotel room, probably good for me. I did get to see some of Hyde Park and the park gates at Wellington Arch were pretty impressive though photo doesn't quite do it justice
