After many many many torturous hours of slumming it in economy (or cattle class) with etihad airways Louise and I finally made it to London. Upon our arrival we find that there is no free hotel pick up waiting for us, rather we have to catch the train to a different terminal of heathrow then find the bus station, then find the right terminal and the right number bus to catch to take us to our hotel. FUN.
Upon arriving at the hotel we find that our room is almost comically small (guess that's what you get for $20 a night). But hey, it's only for the night! After about 5 seconds of checking out the room it was nap time. The plan was to nap, find dinner then sleep. 18 hours later it's time to get up and head back to the air port.
Next flight is with air Croatia, Louise and I held our breath the entire flight. The flight was surprisingly good and we arrived alive (always a bonus). At the airport we find a bus to take us to the main bus stop then we have to find the tram stops and jump on a tram to find our hostel. Of course we became hopelessly lost and a lovely local girl helped us out by walking us to our hostel. Having seen the movie hostel I was thinking the whole time that she was taking us somewhere to remove our organs or something. Turned out to be okay though.
The funk hostel is pretty nice and the staff are lovely so it's totally worth the $16 a night. Heading to the lakes tomorrow so early early early to bed!
