Hey everyone. Firstly forgive me if I make any spelling mistakes or sentences that do not make any sense. I've had like 4 hours of sleep in about 40 hours and had a bit to drink and still in the process of sobering up.
My flight from Sydney was delayed. Just as we were about to take off, the Australian airspace was randomly shut down. So we were just sitting there like rabbits waiting for the plane to depart for almost 2 hours. When we were finally airborne and finally about to land at my stopover (Hong Kong), we were circling Hong Kong airport for about 30mins since there was traffic. All in all, the flight was delayed by roughly 2 hours although I managed to somehow locate Chris (who thankfully was still waiting) at Heathrow.
From there, we had a bus that would take us to Milton Keynes, where Chris was living for the past three months. Only thing was that we missed the bus due to my delayed flight. Thankfully we managed to get hold of a rescheduled bus and eventually made our way down to Milton Keynes where we enjoyed a nice english breakfast.
We had a lot to organize so we got cracking pretty much right away. After we finished organizing everything, we decided to go to the town center as we both needed to buy a few things. The town center was nothing like I had imagined. It was about 3 times the size of Parramatta Westfield (which is pretty massive). After buying the necessities, we decided that there were two things left to buy if we were to wing this trip completely, The first was a magic 8 ball, and the second were some dice. Why would we need such things? Well, we figured that since we have no idea where and when we are doing things, we figured it would be a 'good' idea to let the magic 8 ball decide for us. Finding a store that sells a magic 8 ball and some dice is easier said than done though, and after about an hour of looking, we finally managed to find a store that sold both. Satisfied that our Eurotrip is still a go, we decided to have a decent dinner before heading off to the pub and say goodbye to Chris's mates here in Milton Keynes.
By saying goodbye, I had no idea it would turn into some sort of beer tasting exhibition and after about 6-7 different beers, we decided it was time to head home. We were not planning to get any sleep since we had to leave in about 2 hours, so we decided just to chill out for a bit before heading out.
So here we are, our Taxi will be here in about 45 mins and we'll be making our way to Kings Cross St. Pancreas (the station from the Harry Potter movies), which will take us to Paris.
Stocked up on Red Bull and falling asleep as we speak, we're gonna soldier on like we said we would and hopefully make it to Paris.
Stay tuned for an update from Paris... if we make it, that is.
Ciao.
