Mad dash in and out of London
Okay so as you all know the blogging went tits up at the end of Peru as we were all just having toooo much fun!!! Will try not to in South East Asia although judging by the past week I can't promise anything :)
So we made it to London and breezed through customs and luggage to find no familiar faces in the sea of people at arrivals at first. In true Stainthorp style Mum and Dad were on their way from grabbing us a few snacks and we came ...
Day 132 - 10 July - Caves, canals & the Big Smoke

The shena****ns of the previous days catch up with me the following morning as well as the cost. I am fast running out of money and as I am still yet to find work and somewhere to live I need every penny for setting up a ...
