Sunday 10 April
26C - Madrid, 20C - London
Our flight is at 12.35 today so we left for the airport just after 9 this morning.It is quite warm at this time of the morning so it'll be quite hot in Madrid this afternoon.Also, they don't turn on the air conditioners until July 1 so it seems warmer than it really is and it's also quite stuffy in the shops, restaurants, the airport etc.We boarded the plane and then had to wait on the runway for about 30 mins.We arrived at Heathrow around 2.30 and by the time we got through passport control, collecting our luggage and customs it was about 4pm.We caught the Heathrow express to Paddington and walked a couple of minutes to the Lancaster Court hotel where we are staying for 4 nights.The room we've got is tiny and it has a double bed only.They did have a twin bed room for us but it was on the 4th floor and there's no elevator….l didn't fancy carting all our gear up 4 flights.Anyway, it's not like we're buying the place.So we chucked all our gear in the room and went to find somewhere to eat as we hadn't eaten since breakfast.One thing about being in Paddington is that it's central to everything and there's plenty of places to eat.We had a nice meal and wandered back to the room.Not sure what we'll do tomorrow but we'll take it pretty easy.
