Day 3 - Europe! Here we come!
We started our day with the usual buffet breakfast (we were seriously spoiled in Dubai) and went back to our room to pack up. A short ride to the airport and we were set to leave a country where you can have anything as long as you have money. After a 7-hour long flight we found ourself in the world's busiest airport, London Heathrow Airport. The airport is busy alright. We queued for more than an hour just to get through the passport control. Our pick-up driver was late and we eventually arrived our hotel at about 10pm. It was quite a shock when I opened the door of our room. The room was small, dark and looked old. The bed wasn't even a real bed, it was a sofa bed. It took us a long time to work out how to turn the sofa into a bed. It wasn't easy to switch from a 5-star hotel in Dubai to this tiny, damp, dark room in London. The ironic thing is that we paid more for this room in London than any other hotels in this trip. I guess it is true that everything in London is expensive. Most restaurants were closed and we were too tired to look for things to eat on the street. We had our first instant noodle dinner tonight.
Can't wait to see the full glory of London in daylight tomorrow morning.
