Day 33 and Day 34 19th and 20th March 2017 Leaving Russia Arriving UK
Packed up our Moscow apartment(sounds so cool) put up the bed for the last time and shuttled by Sergey out to the airport. British Airways comfortable and staff pleasant (strange accents :-).Time to reflect on Russia-so glad to have had the experience and eager to return at some point-a most under-rated and misunderstood destination.
Landed at Heathrow Terminal 5 did the marathon to arrive at Immigration where contrary to our own expectations were greeted by a charming Border Force (God I hate that title) office who welcomed us to the UK chatted amiably and gave us the stamp.Collected the bags got the train to Hammersmith, had a lovely pub meal and a pint then off to bed.
Went to Bethnal Green to meet up with Holly and her friend Masha at the Second Shot cafe. A joyous and happy meeting for mother and daughter!! Then to her share flat for a bite and finally to our apartment. Small but comfortable and well appointed – another Murphy bed:-))
