Andrew and I had to get up super early to catch the first tube to Heathrow Airport this morning which was at 5:28am. Our flight to Rotterdam was at 7:30am and we wanted to allow enough time to get there and through security before heading to the gate. We timed it pretty perfectly really with enough time to grab some Breckie too! The flight took one hour so we touched down in Rotterdam at 9:30am local time because of the hour time difference. Richard met us o...

Andrew and I caught the tube to Heathrow Airport on Saturday morning to meet Anne and Richard off the plane.

It didn't matter too much but we had to wait a little longer and because of line maintenance ou...
