Babbling in Earl's Court
Aug. 26th, 2002 04:00 pmThe thing I'd forgotten about long plane flights wasn't the boredom or seeming endlessness or the lack of sleep or lack of comfort or truly bad food. It was how fucking noisy the airconditioning/circulating system is.
Sam and I got three seats to the two of us for the Sydney to Bangkok leg, which was nice, but then a nice, good looking, gay physics teacher was seated with us for Bangkok to London.
It's grey and overcast in London today. Landed about 9:30 am, checked into hotel about midday (after delays with getting luggage off plane, and delays with train as someone went under one further along the line). We went down to Kew Gardens after lunch in a greasy diner, which is a lovely spot which I'd made it to in my one visit to London, but my sister hadn't been there in eighteen months of living here :) It was very nice to just walk amongst all the lovely plants and enjoy being out of a flying box.
