LONDON SOJOURN - DAY 1 ARRIVAL

 Hello again, my dear readers.

If you read my previous post, you might remember that in August last year we embarked on our very first overseas trip past-COVID.  Our main destination was a tour around Scandinavia but first we decided to spend a week in London.

We were flying with Thai Airways which meant that we had a 4 hour stop-over in Bangkok,  Thailand's capital).  It took us ten long hours to get there and when we finally landed in Bangkok, it was midnight local time.  Luckily, we were flying Business Class and when sleepy and tired we made our way to the Business Lounge, we felt quite fortunate.  After refreshing showers and tasty meal of local delicacies we were ready to continue our journey.

The last leg of the flight, Bangkok to London, was fourteen hours, the bulk of which we spent mostly sleeping thus arrived in London feeling reasonably awake and alert. We checked in hour hotel Hotel Saint, around 9 am local time and took an elevator to our room.  We both knew that if stayed inside, we just crashed the bed and woke up in the middle of the night from the jetlag.  

 If you ever been on a long-haul flight, you probably know how jetlagged you feel for the first couple of days and we were no exception.

So we decided to leave the hotel and go for a walk around the neighborhood, afterwards walking to the nearest tube station and for no apparent reason, taking a train to Hide Park.  We chose to stay at Hotel Saint which is within two minutes walk from Aldgate Tube Station. Once out of the station, we just took an aimless walk around the neighborhood. 

However, after a while we felt so tired that we gave up, took the train back and went straight to bed.

Stay tuned for day 2

Until then,

Anna
