The Emus have landed in London!


Team Emu Draft have landed in London and we can confirm that the official team tally count has begun... It's been an eventful 24 hours for the team tally board with the following deserved of a mention and tally point...

No. of ipods broken before we've even departed Hyde Park: 1

No. of bureaucratics who have tried to charge us extra for leaving our country or stop us from entering their country: 2

No. of 'Emu Bottom' branded biscuits served by Thai Airways to passengers: 678

No. of Team Emu Draft equipment bags currently in the wrong continent: 1

No. of clip-on koalas inside the bag that's in the wrong continent: too many to count.

No. of trips across London and back in the rain to submit passports for visa application: 2 (A second trip was required after Sardi realised that she'd forgotten to bring her passport and photo ID for the visa application - a small but somewhat important detail. Jetlag is a very dangerous thing.)
