Montreal; Thursday, 22 August, 2019

I had a half days leave booked, so as soon as the clock hit 1pm I shut down my laptop, grabbed my bags and headed for the airport. I had a smooth journey through the airport and onto the plane and then a smooth and comfortable flight across the Atlantic.

We landed pretty much on time, but there was a bit of a delay as we had to wait for a stand to become available. However, once we were attached to the airport it was a quick disembarkation and a very quick journey through the airport with Canadian Immigration being, once again, a very quick and seamless process.

I had to wait about 20 minutes for my bag to finally come round, but then I was out of the airport, less than an hour after landing, and onto the bus into town.

By the time the bus made it to the stop near the hotel it was already gone 10pm, though my body knew full well it was actually 3am back in London and that I’d been up for over 20 hours. So after a quick check-in I headed up to my room on the 13th floor and after a quick unpack turned in for the night.
