Hello England!

Landed at London Stansted Airport on time at 1:05p … despite the delayed departure from ADB. Smooth, uneventful flight.

The shuttle train between terminals was jam packed, but somehow we squeezed ourselves onto it.

The immigration queue was long, but moved at a steady pace towards the ePassport gates. We scanned our passports, the gates opened, and we officially entered England.

Once we collected our bags, we made our way to the National Express coach station. Our tickets were for a later bus, but we managed to get on the 2:30p departure to the Victoria Coach Station.

Fingers crossed our transportation luck will hold and we’ll manage to score seats on an earlier connecting bus from Victoria to Southampton.

So far, our ‘travel day weather’ is continuing to hold. Chilly here in England. Mostly overcast, too. The rain that left the pavement wet is long gone. The sun just might succeed in breaking through.Read more
