Craig and Les atop the Cisseley circle (apologies for any misspelling)
And this morning Craig dropped us off at Terminal 2 on his way to a workshop in Canterbury. We hope the traffic was smooth sailing after he left us.
I had phoned the Bloc Hotel a few days ago to ask if we could store our luggage as we would be arriving at 9ish and the checkin was 4pm. We were promised an early checkin, and wow, did we get service. Not only was a room ready but they upgraded us to a room with a window. No view, how could there be as it's actually in the south terminal? Small room, but perfectly serviceable and the lobby is beside the security for the departures gates.
It will take all the stress out of catching a 5:45 am flight tomorrow. Plus, we can check our bags...one of ours and two for Stefan and Hannah, between 8pm and midnight tonight.....so as soon as I finish this post.
We had a bit of breakfast at the closest Nero caffe and the headed into London, stopping at the National Portrait Gallery and took in a special show on Virginia Wolff. We walked up Rgent Street and they are all ready for the NFL.
Then off to the Canadian Embassy by 2:30 so we'd be in plenty of time for the 3-4pm window for the passport pickup. We were not allowed in the building until 3 and then all iPods, phones and cameras had to go into a locker and our small knapsack and selves had to be put through security. BUT, I got my passport. Only a two year one but I've got it. I then used the phone in the embassy to call Easyjet to let them know my new passport number and expiry date so that I can get on the plane tomorrow. Oh, it will be wonderful to be relaxed and warm and have the grandchildren to hug.
