Dear diary

Having all sorts of problems getting to internet so finally managed it but not sure for how long, so striking while the iron is hot.
Stopped in Hong Kong for 4 hour stopover. After an 11 hour flight We were absolutely shattered so on last leg to London we popped sleeping pills and slept half the trip. I bought some jet lag pills, so didn’t actually feel so bad when we arrived at 6am yesterday, and actually managed to stay awake until 9pm last night, then slept last night.
London – wow, what a city. Justin’s girlfriend volunteered to be our tour guide all of yesterday, so we went into the city and looked at Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament Buildings, Trafalgar Square. Photos to follow of that day as photos on other phone. In the afternoon we hired those Boris Bikes and rode for miles along the Thames and looked at all the multi million pound homes. So gorgeous.
Today we trained to Manchester and went round the Coronation Street studios. It was fabulous, as per attached photos (hopefully). We tramped around Manchester, and saw Old Trafford. At the moment we are at Manchester railway station waiting for the train to Liverpool for the night, look around the Beatles old haunts and other stuff. I am in love with this place. It just blows me away.
