Right Flight, Right Day!

After the little mistake yesterday, this morning we were finally on our way to London. We could have a bit of a sleep in, given that we were only 5 min from the airport, and definitely took advantage! The flight was uneventful, which is what you want really… On landing at Heathrow, we quickly went through passport control, collected our bags and headed to the Hertz desk to pick up the car.

We have a Ford Focus, really nice car to drive. Havent worked out the cruise control yet, but will have plenty of time to do that! Travelling out of the airport was a breeze – which we were pleased about, then it was on to the M25 on our way to Ockley, past Dorking. There was a bit of traffic for the first few miles on the ring road – it was 6pm after all! Then clear sailing for the rest of the trip. It is a lovely drive once you head out into the countryside.

Finding our accommodation was easy too! The Inn on the Green is on the main road, has a lovely atmosphere and comfortable rooms – although is quite different to the hotels we were staying in in Hong Kong! (That’s a good thing though) After a lovely dinner at ‘the Inn’ we had thought to stay for the pub trivia night, but couldn’t stay awake long enough!
