Filling in time

Had a sleep in this morning. I wasn't feeling as enthusiastic this morning as usual. I think it is because I am now in a large city and for the past week have been in small towns, which I really enjoyed. Hopped on a tram and went to see the UN building and then caught another tram to the old part of town. From here I walked through Bastion Park and then into the old town. It was very quiet, not many people around at all. I then realised that it was Monday and in Europe many tourist places are closed on this day.

Today's weather was rubbish and it affected my mood. I walked through St Peter's Cathedral and continued walking through the old town. To fill in time I committed a travellers crime- I went to Starbucks. I wanted to sit somewhere warm and read my book.

After my lunch I walked around the lake and got closer to the Jet d'Eau. Now it began to rain so I caught a tram back to the hostel to pick up my bag. Then I walked to the train station and got the train to the airport.

A few hours later I landed at London City Airport. This was the first time I used this airport. It is quite small and so easy to get home from.
