Off the plane and down through customs to collect our baggage. All went well and the bags arrived in short order... and the drum. We loaded up the baggage and headed towards the Heathrow Express station for the 15 minute trip into London. Blazing fast and great internet :-)

| Those poor wheels are getting a workout!! |
On arrival at Paddington Station we where met by our friend and fellow cruiser Dan (whom tracked our flight progress from over Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, over his house and finally on approach to LHR.) Dan was kind enough to hand deliver some train tickets for our trip north to Glasgow on Sunday. Great service as Dan works for Virgin Trains!! We got caught up and then grabbed a cab to the Corus Hotel.

Once in our small but clean room, we unpacked and stored our gear. Good thing we have "small room" practice from cruising and the F3A Worlds in Switzerland!!
Kris arrived and we headed off to get our sim cards sorted for our iPhones. This will allow us to remain connected with each other as well as our friends in the band and back home. Not to mention the "find a pub" app which was put to the test immediately.
Dinner at a BBQ place and then Kris headed back to his hotel room as he flies back to YVR in the morning. Kelly and I went for a walk in Kensington Gardens as we visited the Royals... they were not in though... maybe next time:-)

Ok our body clocks are a mess and we are done... off to bed. Not sure what Kelly has planned for me tomorrow!
