Stranded in Stansted

Hello all,

I've arrived safely at Stansted Airport though the flight delayed for an hour an a half. We were scheduled to arrived at 10pm London time but due to the delay, we only landed at 11.30pm. Getting through the immigration and collected our luggage, by the time we came out to the arrival hall it was already 1am.

So, we had to change our plan a bit. We were supposed to get our rental car upon arrival and drive up to Cambridge and spend the night there. Since we arrived too late and the shop already closed, we decided to wait at the airport for the rental to open for business.

The weather here is freezing cold. Currently the temperature is about -3 degree. Trust me it is cold and the local time is about 3am. People are sleeping everywhere at the airport. On the benches, next to check in counters, against a wall; any potential space there can be you can see people sleeping there.

We made our own territory at the Airport. Spot people sleeping in the above picture.

My guess is they need to catch an early flight and they don't want to travel too early so they traveled the night before and just spend the night at the airport. This is a new experience for me. It's only been the first day of the trip and I'm experiencing new stuff already. Can't wait what this journey has in store or me and my friends. 

My internet quota is running out. Gotta go. Till then~
