Singapore to London

We boarded the 747 to Heathrow at about midday. It was the longest flight I have physically been on, and will be the longest flight. Madison got a high fever about half way in, and we were very worried. At the worst she was 38.7C.

Luckily for us, the cabin crew were simply amazing. We flew Singapore Air, and I can highly recommend them. They went over and above the call of duty. The not only gave us good advice, but kept us calm as well.

Kim's sister Penny was waiting for us at Heathrow. That place is a mad house, and we were glad to get out in one piece! It has 3 lifts to the carpark, and about 100 people waiting at anyone time. To make matters worse the lift is up and down, but it only goes 1 level up or down. To get to the 3rd level you have to walk 100m to another lift. Not a good introduction to a country.

The drive from London to Market Harborough was quick, and managed to sleep through most of it. Madison was a little better, but we were still worried about her, and made it very hard to enjoy the new sights.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.
