Ive been back for over a month on the road...shall we say its back to the old days. Part of the trip was business, part leisure, and even a great part for a cool family visit. So no, Im not going to blog about Congo or Belgium. But rather, Im going to give you this blog and a little side trip to Bulgaria that happened over 2 weeks ago in the next blog. Back in the skies...not a lot have changed if it for full flights...and some airlines raring better at treating frequent travelers than others.
I had to go back to my travel blog history to find about my last trips to England. Interesting, the last time I was in London, was the exact same day of Trouping the Colors, and I did see the Queen in the streets with thousands of others. Two weeks later, still in 2016, I landed in the from the Caribbean to find out that Britain did vote for the no to remain into the EU.
So this morning, Im landing from Brussels. I was only in Brussels for breakfast as I was on a connecting flight from Kinshasa
where not only did I work a little, but there was some solid golf too with the Open de Kinshasa. My flight to Brussels was packed on Brussels Airlines, so I was quite happy to have landed a good deal in premium economy. This is only one of the 7 airlines Im on over a period of 35 days.
Landing at 10am, and the Queen funerals where just on the way. I made my way out of the airport before the stop of few minutes to pay the respect to the Queen. This time, Im not going to London, but Im renting a car till tomorrow late afternoon to explore around London.
I have stopped long ago to count how many time I visited London. But funny enough, I never ventured into Cambridge or Oxford. Job done! I spent nearly three hours in Cambridge with my private local guide, Sandrine, who I last saw around 28 years ago. Doesnt make us younger!
Next, I hit the road again and slept in Milton Keynes. This is. somehow new city...interesting architectural point of view, but I would not live here. Night done...next morning first stop was the
outlets in Bicester. I must out of fashion ...how people those days can they buy so many ugly stuffs! Done, next an afternoon in Oxford.
Landing in Heathrow Monday morning...Tuesday evening I was already in the plane...first stop...back to Istanbul just for the transit.
