London

Had one last morning game drive yesterday at Londolozi before our flight to Johannesburg. We met us with our friend Maddy who Jess taught with in Taiwan and is from the area and had a few G&T, great fun. We then boarded our flight to London for the 11 hour flight. Again, we were booked in First Class on British Airways and our plane had their brand new upgraded cabin so the flight was a complete pleasure and the service was absolutely top notch.

During our second to last day on safari I was starting to get the end of holidays blues and contacted our wonderful travel agent Isla (The Travel Network in Toronto) to ask her to switch us to the brand new Four Seasons Park Lane in London. I needed something to look forward to! Isla worked her magic and arranged the switch and when we arrived in London we were upgraded from a basic room to a lovely suite which is huge by London standards. London hotels are very expensive and the rooms usually very small compared to many parts of the world. As we walked around to today with looked in the window at some properties, in this neighbourhood a 500 sq ft apartment sells for $1.8 million dollars!!! Yikes.

Living Room of our Suite
(no bedroom, bathrooms pics, we have messed those up already)

We have been completely spoiled on this trip and stayed at the most amazing properties in the most amazing rooms which makes it very difficult for a city hotel to give too much wow factor. The room is beautiful and they truly have thought of everything but for me the true wow here comes from the service which is Four Seasons perfection.

Today has been lazy, got our room at 10 am. Cleaned up, went for long walk and lunch, long afternoon nap in super comfy bed and glass of wine and some quick blogging.

Tonight we are off to meet our friend Jimmy for a drink and bite to eat before going to see Pricilla Queen of the Desert on stage here (super gay, looks amazing!).

Fingers crossed that the hotel car (a gorgeous Rolls Royce) will be available to drop us off in front the the gay bar in Soho to meet our friend Jimmy!

Within 1995, a design that is very similar to
Air Optimum one was launched. Kobe arrives in Royal blue background, gold test and white element.
It is still made use of by the youth and music fans today.
Both equally come with a grey track record, royal blue and yellow and white specifics.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added"
checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Bless you!

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's both equally educative and interesting, and let
me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too
few people are speaking intelligently about.
I'm very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

I've been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with Search Engine Optimization?
I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good results.
