Rhona's friend Anthony De La Cruz turned up for the party and stayed for a few days. 

He also travelled with us to Linda's in Oxfordshire where we visited the North Star Pub.

He then had to take the train to London...

..because Rhona and Simon had so much luggage for the Philippines to fit in Linda's car

Here's some more photos of the Holiday in at Heathrow

We then bought a travel pass for zones 1-6 and hopped into London city centre to meet up with Anthony

We then flew Gulf Air from Heathrow to Manila via Bahrain.  We used frequent flyer airmiles to upgrade to First Class from London and we were automatically upgraded to First Class from Bahrain to Manila.

London to Bahrain (GF002) - First Class - Airbus A330 (we needed 18,000 Frequent Flyer points and we still have 96,000 left - Thanks Gulf Air)

...and then Bahrain to Manila (GF154) - First Class - Airbus A340 (all business class passengers were upgraded to First Class because only economy was full)
