Venice – Day 0, 21 Oct – LHR T5 Sofitel

< Back to Venice Home Page
Forward to Day 1>

As we travelled to London Heathrow by National Express coach, we booked the Terminal 5 Sofitel as an overnight stay so we didn’t have to rush around in the morning to catch the flight. The hotel is accessed directly from the T5 concourse but we did venture out in the evening into the ‘Smokers Area’ to get some night shots.
