Our day started bright and early with a 9am wake up.I say wake up, but neither of us really slept thanks to a wonderfully comfortable sofa bed. After a mad dash to tesco to buy rob a sleeping bag and to nationwide to change pin numbers we returned home for a quick breakfast and then went on our way.
We arrived at newcastle airport with over an hour till check in. They let us check in early which we did whilst ken took pictures. we said goodbye to rob's parents and then went and got a pasty to eat. After We'd eaten we went through to departures and mooched around the shops. Boarding went very easily and we were on the plane before we knew it. The flight was ok, but there was a massive jolt which scared me quite a bit. We landed perfectly on time and got our bags no problem.
Stansted was packed when we arrived and there were queues everywhere. We were told by a lady at information to catch the train to a nearby town called Bishops stortford which we did easily. Opposite the station was a cinema which we saw the film Transformers
in. Not a great film, but it did last three hours. After that we walked the length of the town to find a pizza hut. We stayed there for two and a half hours and enjoyed warm food courtesy of Diane and Ken. We caught the train back to the airport and have now found ourselves a cosy little hide out to spend the evening in. Not a bad first day and hopefully not a long night. Night night all.
