After 32 hours of travel, and a 12 hour time difference the perfect cure for jet lag was a dinner with friends, a decent sleep and, the following day, a walk through the English countryside. So that’s what we did the day after we arrived in the UK.
About 20 minutes drive from Gill and Andre’s place in Bromham is a country park which is essentially a picnic park with a nature reserve attached. The main feature of the park is a quintessentially English woodland wrapped around a lake.
It took us about 30 minutes to meander along the track that circles the lake – time very well spent.

Hey you 2, gorgeous pics, glad to get that one long haul over and done with huh! Petra
Hey Petra,
That 32 hours of travel is a killer – thank God for that premium legroom and a wee bit of pampering onboard. On a completely different note, we love the House of Travel iPhone app – really well done.
Cheers
Graeme and Jean
