Trains, planes and automobiles

This is how I got to Alicante, the full journey from leaving home, to arriving in the villa...

Walk to station
Train to Victoria
Bus to Oxford Street
Go to work
Bus to Islington
Walk up Upper Street
Go to party
Walk to tube
Get tube to Victoria
Go for a wee at Victoria (in the toilets, stupid)
Get back on tube to Heathrow
Get Hotel Hoppa bus from Heathrow to hotel
Sleep in hotel, zzzzz
Get Hotel Hoppa bus from hotel to Heathrow
Fly to Madrid Barajas airport, terminal 4s*
Get funny underground driverless train to Madrid Barajas terminal 4
Get bus from terminal 4 to terminal 2
Get a bit lost in terminal 2
Get on metro to Madrid Chamartin train station
Get train to Alicante
Car fom Alicante station to Villa...and, relax.

Phew!

*Madrid terminal 4s - still not convinced it's actually in Spain. Should it really take two forms of transport just to leave the airport?
