Hounslow

Last night we got home to an email from Qantas sent at 9.30pm to inform us our flight had been cancelled. It has been moved to tomorrow at 9am, no explanation given. David rang Qantas and they offered us £100 ea for accommodation which doesn’t get you much in London. We have had little sleep trying to sort out with Qantas and to find a hotel to stay in.

Eventually we managed to get a couple of rooms at a hotel at Heathrow so we don’t have to worry about early morning train ride with luggage to the airport tomorrow. They were kind enough to give us an early check in at 11.30am instead of 3.00pm. We had a light lunch at the hotel café and a relax/rest after that in the room.

So today is our last day in London. Not that we will be doing any sightseeing today. Except for a bit of plane spotting. The hotel is on the edge of the runway, just like Daryl Kerrigans house, and it costs extra if you want a view of the runway and planes landing and taking off. I'm pretty happy we are in the low end room where we aren't on the runway.
