Lodz; Friday, 22 July, 2016

I’d had to travel up to Scotland for work the previous Sunday so I was able to finish work early on the Friday and make my journey up to Stansted ahead of the rush-hour.

I was looking forward to my night in the hotel, partly as it was a relatively early flight from Stansted, but mostly because the hotel boasted air conditioning and the previous few nights had been so unpleasantly close and humid that I hadn’t slept properly.

An uneventful journey across town and up to Liverpool Street and then onto Stansted where I transferred onto the shuttle bus to the hotel.

After checking in and finding that my room was beautifully cold, I headed out to grab a bit to eat for dinner from the neighbouring M&S Simply Food and headed back to my room with my picnic.

Given the lack of sleep from the previous evenings I turned in early and with the air conditioning working overtime had to actually snuggle down in the duvet.
