Good morning from LHR T5 where it is a very dreary morning.



After a good long nights sleep it’s now well past 9:30 am and I am just about ready to meet the world.

First job of the morning was coffee and the hotel has its own Costa



Very civilised, unlike me who had thrown on yesterdays clothes to fetch the first brew of the day

A few further observations on this premier plus room. There were chocolates on the tea tray, water in the fridge and, my favourite, a choice of shower gel, clearly aimed to be his and hers. The Oud and cedar would not be my first choice of scents but far preferable to lavender . The premium wifi included in the plan gives 2 codes at check in and one more by email and it was around 40mbs, far far better than the free offering.

All in all I’d say the upgraded room is worth the money, I paid less than ten pounds more.

The bus back to the terminal is also less that 10 minutes. Overall I’ll happily stay here again. This is how close to the hotel the two bus stops are



Time to pack up my chattels and make my way to T5.

Next stop: CCR in 30-60 minutes time… I’m in no rush as long as I make it in time for bacon chop breakfast
