London

The real adventure starts now... After an amazing Madonna concert in Amsterdam ArenA with Nat's family, we spent the day shopping in the Dutch capital city and visited the new BOLS genever room in the House of Bols. Of course we also tasted the new genever in the delicious Collins cocktail!! From there we hurried to Schiphol airport and flew to London to join Pierre's sister. This is our last stop in Europe, before the big jump to Tokyo! We are leaving from the new T5 terminal at London Heathrow!! We're not very sure how long our flight actually takes, all we know is that we get there tomorrow morning around 9h45 local time. We'll let you know about exact time difference once we're sure of it!

Weather: English Summer... (= gray clouds and light rain for those who aren't familiar with the English seasons)

Weight: we honestly thought we would have to pay overweight for our bags because they felt so incredibly heavy... well, after putting them on the scale at the airport, it turns out they only weigh 16 and 13 kilos!! I guess we should have done some more weight-lifting before our departure...
