Well, what a day. We woke up and had breakfast with dozens of others in the hostel, it was nice but I was the oldest by about 70 years. We made some good contacts.

We met a cool girl from Finland, she was very excited about winning "Eurovision".

Sleeping on the Airport floor

After checking out we went off to find an internet cafe. We booked our return flight (June 18th from Paris), our car for 3 weeks from Paris, and the coach to Luton for tonight.

Me, getting a good nights sleep. I only woke up because it was time to check-in.

Called Christian to arranged to meet him. We then headed over to Covent Garden to go shopping. Good stores. Made off like a bandit with deals from H&M.

Met up with Christian and went out for beers. Met up with his fine lady Ms. Verity and went for beers beside the coach stop.

P.S. Christian and Verity, hope everything went well with the locked out situation!

Here is where it gets fun.

Stupid early flight.

So we took the coach to Luton Airport. Our flight was at 6 AM and chek-in was at 3:45. The dilema was that the earliest coach was to arrive at 6 AM. So we had no choice but to head out to the airport on the LAST coach the night before our flight, it arrived at 11:00 PM. We slept on the airport floor! I got 5 hours of sleep, Amy got about 3.

Hi Paul! It's Bonnie, and obviously I found your blog. Very interesting entries! Was wondering how long was the coach from London to Luton? Our flight's at 9am, when should we be there? Thanks! ps. I'm very sorry to read about your fish.
