No matter which way you look at it.....29 hours is a bitch! We left Brisbane on a 10am flight to Sydney, then Sydney bound for London via Hong Kong, arriving 5.30am London time! We travelled Virgin Atlantic and, although I couldn't justify "Business" for this trip, we travelled Premium Economy, which is like a Business class seat in Qantas, so at least we could stretch our legs out and have a bit more room.
I attempted to do some of my 'readings' on the HKG flight but academic work is so dry it wasn't all that successful. Oh well....caught a couple of movies instead :)
I had arranged for car to pick us up at the airport and half an hour later we were at the Chancery Court Hotel.
Thankfully we were able to check into our room early so it was a race to the shower for a quick recovery. The Chancery is quite beautiful with good sized, newly refurbished rooms. Only about 150 metres to the Tube and a 15 minute walk to Covent Gardens or Oxford St where we spent the better part of the day shopping. Zara, H&M, Top Shop....the girls scoured them all making various purchases. We then headed down Regent Street and into the Liberty shop which is an absolute treasure trove of delights!
