Homeward Bound ?.

A last minute plan to visit Bath and district on Monday turned out to be a great decision. We were able to park right in town beside the Avon River, in an area reserved for coaches - well we are a sort of a coach and bus driving experience certainly helped. This allowed us to have a good walk around the central area, see the Cathedral, the Roman Baths, the Pultney Bridge and a walk along the river. We located a caravan park combined marina on the outskirts of Bath which allowed us a straight run of around 120 miles to Heathrow. As we did not have to return the motorhome until 3pm at Heathrow we initially drove via the more scenic A4 route, but this had us going through a multitude of villages and slowing progress, so we switched to the faster, less scenic M4 motorway. Arrived at the drop off location at 2:30pm, had lunch, changed and caught the shuttle bus to terminal3. As we had anticipated being there 7 hours prior to our scheduled departure brought with it some complicat!
ions. Due to the backlog, departing passengers are not permitted inside the terminal building until 3 1/2 hours before their flight. However they have erected marques outside with a limited number of seats, bottles of water are free, so we have made ourselves as comfortable as possible for the next 2 or so hours. As soon as we are able to enter the terminal building all of our baggage has to be screened and checked in straight away - whatever that is...
So far things here are going ok - we trust that will continue.
So, I will now close this blog and hopefully find a phone somewhere to "post" it.
