We started out of Calgary two hours late on Air Transat but things improved from there. It may have been our smoothest transatlantic flight ever but it’s still difficult to get much sleep back in the cheap seats.
We planned to meet Erika and had bought tickets to a show (The Comedy About a Bank Robbery) so were a bit concerned about the time. We stored our bags at the airport hotel we were staying at for the night and caught the Gatwick Express into London. We met Erika in time and the show was good and funny although both Tara and I were nodding off a bit in the beginning.
I went shopping for a Denmark world cup jersey which was surprisingly difficult to find, as I wanted to show support for the team, and Canada (nor Italy) didn’t qualify. Then off to find dinner, before saying goodbye and heading back to the hotel at Gatwick. The concierge suggested we check in for the early morning flight this evening without any crowds, which we did. Yet another advantage of staying in the hotel at the airport!
