Our flight home from Bangkok was direct into London Heathrow.

Having just enjoyed a "good news" story about the Dog & Donkey village pub in Budleigh Salterton, Devon ... a final fling along the south coast(ish) beckoned !

The Journey

Bit of a debacle at Terminal 2, after being told it was impossible to pedal out due to some tunnel.

The black cabs couldn't accommodate our boxed bikes, and we didn't fancy risking an Uber XXL (at nearly £50 for the 1.5 miles to our hotel) 🤦‍♀️

We were saved by the "Hotel Hoppa" bus (pictured below), which serves all airport hotels 🤗

They officially transport boxed bikes (unless full), for the regular fare of £6.25 per person.

The bus route out (to Ibis Styles Hotel) looked perfectly rideable to us, no tunnel involved 🤷‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️
So next time we'll ignore the naysayers and build our bikes at the airport !!
