I'm at London Heathrow on a bus that's going to Mexico

I'm pretty happy with the room I've rented in Coyoacán, Mexico City.
Going west means my day is six hours longer. I've been awake for 23 hours.
Anyway, I've found the Museo Frida Kahlo.

I've just connected to Mexico City's public WiFi—no password or captive portal required. The network, 'CDMX-Internet para Todos', is surprisingly easy to access. Looks like I might not need the full 3GB from my eSIM after all.

Philip Mallegol-Hansen@edward Makes you wonder why they even bother with the planes.
QuadRadical@edward hah, i was just at heathrow and now im on a GWR train, I'm doing the opposite of you :p
was your train delayed? mine was, i think because of the snow and/or fog
@QuadRadical I had 5 minutes to get from my GWR train on platform 10 to the Heathrow Express on platform 7. My train was on time the whole way, but slowed down as we approached Paddington and pulled in 5 minutes late. The Heathrow Express was 7 minutes late leaving, so it was all good. My flight isn't until 12:45.

@edward nice! i had no issues with heathrow express, but GWT train was delayed and now we're stuck behind a slower train
@QuadRadical Sorry to hear that. Hopefully not too much of a delay. At least if you are delayed by 15 minutes more you can claim some money back.
Did you book a specific train ahead of time? I've avoided booking a return GWR train from Paddington because I'm not sure when my flight will land and how long exiting Heathrow will take.
@edward At least 30 minutes late, probably. We (me and family) will be seeking the partial refund. Yep we booked all trains in advance, plane got in perfectly, etc... Not had too many issues on that end, usually I just get issues with GWR.
@edward it was just over 30 minutes late, so we get a 50% discount :D
@QuadRadical Being late is annoying, but being just under 30 minutes late would be even more annoying.
