Je suis arrivé

I was worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow when nothing happened for 15 minutes standing at the carousel. Once I checked to see where they had moved our bags, it was a quick trip to the arrivals lounge, a shower, and a cuppa. I really prefer this to the way I traveled the first time I got to the UK, schlepping a huge backpack around and not showering for something like 72 hours.

Now that I'm modestly caffienated, it's time to head to the Tube, thence St Pancras, thence my ultimate destination: Brussels. I sincerely hope that the hotel I'm staying at on the way back will let me stash my bag for a couple of hours, because Eurostar check-in isn't until just before 4pm. The weather is absolutely lovely today.
