As there was the question of a reader in my mailbox about the trip to London: It was a private trip. I invited my mother (my father can´t use the plane anymore), my brother Florian and my sisters Solveig and Taz for a day in London. Before you think: Does this guy have to much money? The fuel for driving to the airport in Bremen was almost as expensive than the tickets for 5 persons to London and the train tickets from Stansted to London were definitely more expensive. It´s ridiclious: A train ticket from Hamburg to Berlin than a aircraft ticket from Bremen to Stansted. Strange.

For Florian and Taz this flight was their first flight. And they had much less fear of flying then i had on my first flight, despite of all the horror fairy tales i´ve told them before takeoff

I hope you all have a great trip. The weather isn't supposed to be very good over the weekend, but fingers crossed it'll stay the way it is atm. Sunny and clear blue skies.

The weather on wednesday was quite nice. It just got bad when we stood in front of Buckingham Palace and got better when we reached Victoria Station.

After having paid quite a fortune in Stansted Express tickets, I went with the easybus last time I went to London. Ok, it took about twice as long, but compared to the train fare, it was dead cheap and our hotel was easier to reach from Baker Street station

If you can plan for some more transfer time from and to the airport, it can really make a difference.

We had just this day, thus time was precious. So the decision for the Stansted Express was easy.
