Wroclaw; Thursday, 31 May, 2012

I woke looking forward to a day spent mostly travelling.

After checking out of the hotel I wandered over to Feltham station and caught the bus out to the airport and Terminal 1. My check-in desk was, of course, at the very far end of the terminal building, so a very long walk later I joined the back of the queue to check-in. 20 minutes later I had my two boarding cards and my luggage had a tag on it that should be sending it to Wroclaw via Warsaw. I’d see in a few hours’ time if that worked.

The queues for security were pretty bad, even by Heathrow’s standard, but at least it meant that by the time I’d got through security and grabbed a quick breakfast, it was time to head to the gate and board the flight.

Two hours later we landed at Warsaw and I followed the signs for flight connections, and my second major queue of the day. 45 minutes later I was through flight connections and with only about an hour to wait for my connecting flight back out to Wroclaw.

A short 40 minute flight later I arrived at Wroclaw, was amazed to find my bag not only had made it all the way, but was one of the first off, and quickly made it out to the bus stop and the bus into town.

With a quick change in the city centre onto the correct tram I headed out to the hotel and checked in.

Having deposited my stuff in the hotel I caught the tram back into town and had a short wander around the centre, before grabbing a bite to eat, and then heading back to the hotel to head to bed.
