A trip to stansted air port.
Hello friends,
Well I left off last with Ryan just arriving into Heathrow, London. We had a flight that left Stansted, England at 12:30pm. Three hours from now. It takes one hour to reach Stansted by bus from Heathrow. We reached our bus at 9:35am which already began to board. There was a cue of people loading there luggage. Ryan and I by-passed this because we only had small back packs on. (Yes, this was all of our luggage. We're men, and we don't need any more than that.) And besides Ryan is only traveling for 9 days.
The bus took off at 9:45 heading for the air port. It was the Express with no stops so I said to Ryan we should be fine and on time. Heading up the High-way, With Ryan excited, this being the first time he's seen another country with his own eyes. He intensely watched the picturesque scenery and watched the cars drive by when he Spots a new Bentley, Baby blue convertible. Brilliant!!! One of the most beautiful cars ever made.
So, he's really happy now. When about 15min. into this ride I hear a faint sound from the rear of the bus. I didn't think anything of it, until a girl from the back of the bus walked calmly to the Bus driver and whispered something to him. The Driver then pulled over on the side of the high-way. He opened the doors and walked out side. He walked to the back of the bus. I watched him from inside. Ryan asked "what's going on" when I saw that the back hatch that stored the luggage had become a Jar. Some where in the past 15 min. The luggage door had opened and littered the High-way with the passenger luggage. Oh sh*t I said. I told Ryan what I saw, when a few of the passenger became frantic. A few ran out side to see if there luggage was still there. The driver came back in to explain what had happened. He said that he was waiting for the Highway patrol officers to retrieve the lost luggage and return it to the bus. After 20 min. I went out side to explain our situation with our flight. He said we would be leaving in the matter of minutes. I agreed to return to my seat. 10 more mins. had past when the driver asked if anyone had a flight that left in the next few hours. a few people raised their hands including Ryan & I. He said that we would be leaving soon. The Police finely showed up with some of the missing stuff. But we were out of time, we had to leave now or we would miss our flight to Scotland. The driver told the passengers that we were going to leave without all the missing items. The police would take the remaining articles to the air port once retrieved.
We were off once again. We arrived to stansted at 11:37 the Gate closed at 11:45. So we even had a few minutes to spare.
Well so far I'm not too impressed with the way this trip is starting off. The bright side is, it can only get better from here on out.... Right???
Check back soon for more crazy adventures of Ryan and I in the U.K.
