Yesterday was quite the adventure! We started out the day going to St. George's Market. We got some breakfast burritos and they were amazing! Then we walked around the city a little. It was interesting because the city centre that was so busy the day before was empty at noon. After a while we figured out that none of the stores open until after 1pm on Sundays.
When it was time to check out of the hotel we decided to head to the airport early and just get some coffee and talk. We noticed that the most expensive bus was the one to the Belfast International Airport. We paid the £15 and took the bus to the airport. After we arrived, though, we couldn't find our flight on the departures board. After checking our Kayak app, we realized that we were at the completely wrong airport. We had to pay the fare and ride the bus back to town. The bus to the correct airport cost about the same as a bottle of pop.
Thankfully we made it to the right airport with plenty of time to relax and talk. We got some coffee and played Scrabble on the iPad until time to check in for our flight. As we approached the check in counter, a wide-eyed look of fear came over Brennan's face. Quietly he said, "I don't have my passport." This spiraled into an hour of phone calls to the hotel, correspondence with British Airways employees, and a taxi from the city centre carrying an American passport. By the grace of God we made it through security and onto our flight with no issues.
Once in London, it took us roughly 2 hours via underground subway and bus to get to our hotel. It was midnight by the time we got here and Brennan and I realized that the last thing we had eaten was the amazing breakfast burrito. We ordered a pizza and settled in for the night. Despite those major set backs I'm so glad we made our flight to London. We're here until Wednesday then we'll be coming home!
