It’s about 7:30pm on Sunday and I’m desperately trying to stay awake. Peter’s been asleep for over an hour but if I go to bed too early, I’ll be awake in the middle of the night.
Our flight was quite nice. The plane was virtually empty; there couldn’t have been more than 50-60 passengers. Our section had 78 seats but there were only 9 of us so we got to spread out. I was in a row of 4 seats so manage to stretch out and get a little sleep. Peter curled up in another row.
In spite of all the horror stories we heard about Heathrow, our experience was quite the opposite. We got through immigrations and customs in about 30 minutes. There was a glitch in the car service so we had to wait about 45 minutes but that was no big deal.
We arrived at our flat around 2:30, and while small, it’s clean and comfy so I think it will fine for our 9-day stay. I’m having trouble connecting to the WiFi so I’m writing this from my phone, which is still on Verizon. The host is working on the internet so hopefully it will be fixed tomorrow.
After a quick freshen up, we headed to Trafalgar Square for dinner. It should have been a 25 minute bus ride but after 25 minutes we realized we were nowhere close. I think we got on the wrong bus. We found a pub on the corner and has a nice dinner there instead. We’ll save Trafalgar Square for another day. As soon as I get WiFi up and running I’ll upload the few pictures I took.
Tomorrow we’re off to Greenwich. It should be a great day.
It’s only 7:47 so I still have more time to kill. Maybe I’ll unpack the backpacks.
Night everyone.
