It's Sunday today and it's London Freewheel day, a major cycling event in London, England, aimed at cyclists of every age and ability.. It means that there'll be no motor-vehicles allowed inside the London city area, it also means that instead of boarding the EasyBus from the Victoria Bus Station, we need to board it at Baker Street. Lucky that we found out about this restriction while chatting with WH the previous night, otherwise we would be going to the wrong place and probably miss our pre-booked bus to Stansted Airport. The return bus ticket costs GBP13 each, much cheaper than taking the Stansted Express train.
We took an earlier bus since there are still 2 empty seats available. We arrived at the airport and grab some something to eat after checking in. Sitting next to us are a group of airport security officers fully armed... it's the first time for me being so close to these firearms, that I couldn't help peeping the guns. Later, we boarded Ryanair FR3006 to Rome Ciampino airport. The aircraft was almost full and the flight went pretty good.
We went through the passport control in Rome Ciampino without trouble. We then took a direct bus to the Termini station. We managed to find our way to the BeeHive hotel's HQ to check in and get our keys to the private apartment (at another place) that we'll be staying. The lady who checked us in is a Philipino, married here for over 10 years now. We chatted a little in B. Malaysia ;) Then we lugged our baggage all the way back to the Termini and across towards the apartment. The area is like a Chinatown with many Chinese shops mostly selling clothes, shoes etc. The lift at the apartment is pretty small and old, we have to manually open and close the door. There's 3 rooms in the apartment and the living hall, kitchen and bathroom are shared among the tenants. The room is pretty spacious and clean.
