Here I am, in Heathrow – FINALLY.
Oh. My. God. I got from Belgium to Central London faster than I got from Central London to Heathrow. Granted, it took me about 30 minutes to get a Clam pass on the Underground, and then 30 minutes to catch the Picadilly line, an hour to get to Heathrow Terminal 5, then 30ish minutes to get from Terminal 5 to the hotel via bus – 25 of that waiting for the bus.
The hotel is nice, average Crowne Plaza room. We’re “close” to the airport, but not really… There’s totally nothing around but other hotels down the road, so I am sticking close to home tonight.
Lots of stuff on the agenda tomorrow… Buckingham Palace, Picadilly Circus, Big Ben, Harrods, Westminster Abby, and the elusive search for the perfect gift.
Working on some plans for Thursday – fingers crossed they come through!
