Next stop – Paris!

We arrived this morning at 6:30 am at Heathrow. Its winter and 6°C . The flight from Sydney to Bangkok and then onward to UK was really nice. We watched The Darjeeling Limited, a documentary on Paris which was very informative and perfect for getting us in the mood and then a few other odds [...]
