I've just recently went on a tour of Scandinavia with a week stay in London at the end of the tour.
With the technology we have at our disposal these days it was a lot easier than last time I went to Europe to keep up to date with the footy scores. I decided that seeing I was on holidays and was over the other side of the world that I would disconnect from work, family and friends as much as possible and only give out the number for the travel sim I got to a few close family and friends and disable email notifications, when I wanted to check up on news etc from home I would connect to wifi at the hotels we were staying in.
While waiting at Oslo airport for our flight to London I decided to check my emails just in case there was anything from the hotel or shuttle services in London on there and I must of somehow turned notifications back on.
Anyway we land at Heathrow terminal 2 and had to make our way to terminal 3 to meet our airport transfer ,anyone that's been to Heathrow will tell you it makes Tullamarine seem like a bus stop. So we finally get through all the chaos we find a seat to sit and wait my phone vibrates, its an email from Richmond saying something about continuing our march to the finals or something like that as I couldn't get to the Richmond app quick enough to see if we had beaten Hawthorn. Wow don't think I've ever had something de stress me so fast.
During that last week in Norway the scenery was absolutely breathtaking we had such a great time I completely forgot about the footy so had forgotten we had the Hawthorn match that day.
Later that week we did a tour of Lords at the tour guide kept reminding us Aussies how bad we were doing in the Tests but I remember thinking who cares the Tiges are winning.
