Night stay
at a London hostel/Carlos Pueblo
I could
easily to take a bus to connect Frankfurt, Germany to Lyon, France by
Across River
Rhine; however, I selected flying to London, England, stayed a
night at a
London hostel, then flied to Lyon on the next morning. It was due
to a mileage
arrangement benefit disregard of time and sense. Using my
British
Airway mileage, I must transfer in Heathrow airport and change flight
to Lyon.
I found a
hostel four stops away from Heathrow on a mixed area of London
where reminded
me in Houston Height area at night. I found the small inn
at a street
corner of a dark alley. The night duty manager allowed me paying
credit card
for a night stay as booked beforehand; however, I could only provide
$10 U.S.
cash for the door key deposit. A night was late and the hostel was not
equipped with
hot water shower at a freezing weather outside. I really got what
I paid in
the most expansive city in the world. No problem that I have some
Infantry training
almost half a century before in Taiwan.
Down stair
outside was a bar of some kind gathering many guests talking loudly
with some
African languages way passing midnight, then, with two left spoken
English with
Asian Indian accent. I was not bothered because that I had to check
out early in
order to catch up an early flight. I left the inn at 4 a.m. and found a
bus to the
airport, yet I missed twice to get off the proper stop to my terminal.
Heathrow is
one of the busiest airport in the world. There were passengers
holding overnight
for the next morning flight. I could easily see passengers
occupying
available seat to make up some sleep. Two airport workers were
in
conversation next to me while they were waiting to punch card for a new
day’s work.
Suddenly I had had an idea that on the next stop over at Heathrow,
I would stay
overnight at the airport.
