By far the easiest route from airport to hotel was the one in London. Half probably due to being able to speak the language, half probably due to London's extensive train system.
Having arrived at Gatwick Airport briefly 9 days ago, we already knew where to head for the trains. Once at the info booth, we told the guy where we wanted to go.
*click click click*
Moments later, he'd printed us out an itinerary of which trains to take, which stations to aim for, and when everything departed.
Moments after that, we had our tube passes in hand and we tore onto our train just before it left the station. At the transfer station, we didn't know which platform our next train was on, so we asked. Not only did the guy know which platform, he knew what time our train was to leave!
Finally, we reached our destination station without knowing our actual final destination. Like a champ, I wrote down the address of restaurants, but not of our hotel.
So, we asked for an internet cafe and got great directions to one. I barreled in and checked my email. 30 seconds later (and no internet fee charged...thanks!) we were on our way. Even the internet cafe guy gave pretty good directions. 3 minutes later, we had arrived. Sweet.
And now, because I'm sure someone will be able to tell us, we're on our way to have some fish & chips, roight?
