End of a long day

In London now. It always takes a while for it to sink in properly especially when the brain is not coping what with jetlag and being squashed into a seat for 24 hours. So anyway, here's the summary so far...
Plane trip completed successfully. Watched HHGTTG (the movie) and channel surfed. Disappointing lack of trolley visits which usually break up the journey a bit. Landed on time - we were actually ahead of schedule but had a problem with the landing gear on the first attempt which meant we lost our spot in the queue of planes waiting for 6am so they could land. Took the Heathrow Express and then the tube to our hotel at Russell Square.
Our room was ready when we arrived which was great. After taking a few moments to freshen up a bit we hit the streets. The weather was perfect for wandering about. We made our way to Leicester Square, Trafalgar etc etc and both ended up buying stuff at Covent Garden.
Dropped the new souvenirs at the hotel and changed into something suitable for The Comedy Store. Although we both were struggling with the fact that we'd been awake for far too long by this point, we thoroughly enjoyed the show. The line up was not quite as advertised but I wasn't upset to have Niall Ashdown as a substitute. All in all a good night out and a fitting end to a very long day.
