Day Two/Deux/Dos - Aeroplane/UK

Managed to get at most 3 hours of sleep on the plane and Robert would have got about 5 hours. I still do not have any idea how you can sleep upright!!!! I thought these stupid chairs reclined!!!! Because I refuse to accept tilting back 4cm any good!!!!!!!!!

Had a very unpleasant woman sitting next to us!!! We went to go to the bathroom and when Robert was waiting for me to come back the lady was singing with a headset on and in the middle of the song she said "Why the fuck is she taking so long"

So, when I needed to go again............. I was scared!!! (and come on its a 12 hour flight)
I spent a whole hour deciding what to do!!! Do I wake her or do I just climb over her???
I tried waking her 3 times after my attempts to climb over failed because of my fear I would land in her lap.
All I can say is that she must have taken something cause she was out cold, so I just lept over her and I didn't wake her!!!! She slept the whole bloody flight, I was soooo envious!!!
How can you sleep when you can watch, the office, family guy, I am legend, bee movie, Ratatouille, grand designs, P.S I love you, play tetris, and bejeweled like I did!

We finally landed at Heathrow Airport at 6.20am (UK time) which was 3.20pm Syd time. I saw the EYE on the way down and Wembley Stadium!

We were met by Neil and Krystle and taken home!
Then showered and shined!! and headed off at 9.30am to the lovely town of Ipswich which to quote, Neil calls it a "Shithole" and is also home to this recent known criminal. We walked past his house!

We saw a football game Ipswich vs Norwich and are apparent rivals! We were all clad up to support Ipswich as Niel is a long-time fan! It was crazy!

There were police everywhere for crowd control and to protect the fans from Norwich, they were barricaded by police to seperate them from the home fans! The blue Army (Ipswich) had impressive chants with colourful language, it was quite amusing!

Ipswich won 2 - 1!!!

On the way back we stopped off in Cambridge! In order to stay awake and keep busy! We were also subject to some light hail as well!
Cambridge is a lovely, cute little town! and of course an impressive university!

Home now, having a roast chicken with roasted vegetables for dinner a la Neil!
Been up since 1.30am and am desperate to hit the hay!
