Brussels to London

So today I am starting my journey home. The weather in Brussels was quite pleasant and I had a last stroll around Brigitte’s garden and was lucky to see a large flock of birds fly over. My taxi arrived a little early and we had a great run into Brussels MIDI where I would catch the Eurostar to London.

When I went through I was asked if I would be willing to be transferred to an earlier train, which I agreed to. So I ended up arriving in London a couple of hours earlier than first scheduled. At St. Pancras I made my way to the Piccadilly line to catch the Underground to Heathrow. On the way there I ran into a couple of Canadians (mother and daughter) who were a little lost so they travelled out to Heathrow with me.

I then headed over to the Sofitel to check in and just relax and take it easy and repack my bags in preparation for the final few legs of my journey home. I had put in for an upgrade to Business Class and was advised when I checked in on line this afternoon that my request was successful 😀This makes the change to my flight from Perth to Melbourne and the 3 hour wait (instead of 45 minutes) a little more bearable.Read more
