On route to Lisbon, Portugal Sultan continues his world tour making a stopover in London for a late-connecting flight.  But rather than hang around in a boring airport for four hours, Sultan decides to leave and take in a bit of London!  What?!  Completely unchaperoned, the big man makes it all the way from Istanbul to London to meet me for a surprise unscheduled visit.  But wouldn't you know, even Sultan succumbs to the inefficiencies of air travel and informs me that his baggage never made it - the airline forgot to send his bags!  But all is not lost, a tailor with a Portuguese TV crew await his arrival at the hotel in Lisbon where he is quickly measured up for a brand new suit ready for his first Portuguese appearance tomorrow at a bookstore.  Sultan will host a press conference and book signing in front of the Portuguese media and fans. I even brought my own tea and kettle for the trip so hopefully everything else will arrive tomorrow!
