  • London Heathrow-Abu Dhabi...just waiting

    November 14, 2022 in England ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Touchdown at 11 this morning, I had reserved a 5-hour slot in the Plaza premium lounge, because I had such a long layover. When I finally got to the right terminal, I wasn't able to pick up my bag until 17:30 !!! So I'm sitting at Café Nero waiting for them to open the check in so I can get some time in the "better lounge" before the next flight to Abu Dhabi which is at 21:00!!Read more

    The past few days I have been mostly relaxing and enjoying spending time with my family.

    Well, today everyone was quite cheerful and so it was decided to go sightseeing. We drove into the city and took a ferry from the Rocks (by the opera house) to Watsons bay. There we went to the beach and took a walk around town. Then Ivonne invited me to the Imperial for a 'Drag and dine' show. The same bar they filmed a scene from the movie Priscilla queen of the desert!! Absolutely great day and evening🥰Read more

    Our final day in the Kata Tjuta national park we decided to take a longer walk just the three of us because the temperature went up to 44 degrees and that was to much for the little lady.

    We walked up to the Crystal cascades and swam in the river. We only needed to watch out for the big spiders creeping around the big rocks.

Afterwards we jumped in the water in spite of the warning sign.... Crazy people!!Read more
