Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport
started the journey 💪🏻
stayed at Hyatt Place Heathrow for all days in London - in fact, the hotel location is quite convenient, at least 2 buses (route 7 and U3) take you from the airport to hotel and for free, kind of point-to-point transfer
(tips: tell the driver the hotel when you get on the bus from airport central bus station near terminal 2 - don’t need to tab your card or pay)
for sure it is better to check the bus schedule in advance and catch it :]
展開旅程的第一天！唯一一天好天氣 🙄
入住Hyatt Place Heathrow，由希斯路機場到酒店，可以乘搭巴士 (7, U3) 前往，十分鐘內即可到達～
(提示：於機場中央巴士公司上車時，告知司機酒店名稱，免費的，不用拍卡或付費)
Camden Town
Camden as my first stop as a big market here - Camden Market and few others nearby
woke up at 05xx (probably due to jet lag 😳), so hanged out early and good for breakfast time when spots or shops were not yet opened - most open at 1000
晨早五時多醒來，大概因為時差吧⋯⋯
索性早點出外吃早餐去～反正大部份市集及店舖十時才營業 😊
Hygge Pygge Cafe
searched on Google map for breakfast / café with top rated 😁 in the area and found this café, also got caught by the funny name~
