The hotel hoppa buses appear to turn off their tracker as they arrive at Heathrow, which means passengers have no idea that there is a bus ready to go. Why do they do that?

I had to ask the bus diver to confirm which bus appeared to be the one heading back to the Hilton.

In the end, the bus I jumped on left 2 mins ahead of time. If I had arrived at the bus stop a min later, I would have been furious if I had missed the bus because the bus had left early.

Not a great move by the bus driver. Perhaps he was in a rush? Anyway, I was the only one on board.

Vick’s ID3 was happy to see me arrive and jumping off the bus when I arrived at the Hilton.

I headed up the M40 on my way home, but I had to drive slowly and turn off the air con to make sure I didn’t run out of charge!

Luckily, the roads were pretty clear at that time, and I was pleased when I finally got home around 10:30pm.

I found Vick and the cats in front of the TV watching the tennis!
