January Cromwell Hotel. I stayed at the [illegible] Hotel on Sunday, 12th October. I had booked my room and paid for it earlier that day. The hotel was very nice and clean with a lovely breakfast buffet. I also enjoyed the swimming pool which was quite warm. There were lots of people there but it wasn't too crowded. At 3:00 PM on Monday, I went to the shop next door to buy some fresh fruit and vegetables for lunch. It was a bit early so they didn't have much yet. I bought an apple and a banana as well as some bread rolls from the bakery inside the hotel. Everything tasted good. Later that afternoon, I decided to take a walk along the riverbank just outside the hotel gates. The weather had turned cloudy but it wasn't raining hard so I still enjoyed myself. I saw several ducks swimming in the water and even spotted one bird flying overhead before heading back towards my room around 5:00 PM. On Tuesday morning at about 7:30 AM, I woke up feeling refreshed after sleeping well overnight thanks partly due to having eaten a light dinner last night instead of something heavy like pasta or steak which might have made me feel sluggish during the day now. After getting dressed quickly since there wasn't much time left before leaving soon anyway (only about half an hour remaining until departure), I grabbed my bag containing all necessary items including passport, tickets, wallet etc., then headed out towards the airport terminal where flights depart regularly throughout each week regardless whether weekdays or weekends apply unless otherwise stated explicitly within airline schedules provided online via their respective websites respectively.
