Update

So now i've got a few of my kenya photos up finally you will all have to wait until I get back for the rest of my Europe ones. I am over uploading them.

You may or may not have heard about the drama with flights into London so I'll give you a bried rundown. For the past two days London has been covered in a thick fog so that almost no flights could get through. So of course my flight out of Paris yesterday was cancelled but i wasnt aware of it until I rocked up to the airport and said goodbye to everyone. So I was in Paris with no Euros (having spent them thinking i would only need pounds) and no forseeable way to get to London (flights are cancelled pretty much up until christmas). So I got on the phone and called Eurostar (the Paris to London train) and managed to score myself a ticket on the 5pm train. It was lucky I called because when I arrived at the station there was a huge line and people were missing out on tickets. As of today pretty much all tickets to on the train are booked till christmas so i was lucky i got one. After a long wait at the station I finally got on and got to Julie's around 9pm. A bit annoying as it cost me another 120 euros to get the ticket but i cant really complain because at least i made it.
