What was your shortest trip to Europe ever, seriously? Last week I was deeply thinking on how I ll spend the national holidays in Kuwait when all of  a sudden my phone rang, it was my boss at work telling me that I need make reservation for the U.K because we have a quick business trip from the 25th till the 27th February. Frankly, I didn t feel like travelling because I simply hate travelling to long destinations for a short time, and certainly not on national holidays! It s not even worth the jet lag if you ask me. Anyway I made my booking for British Airways and this is my first time ever to try it and I must say I m not impressed but I ll be posting about my experience later.
I arrived at Heathrow rent a car europe 18 years Airport and it s freaking cold outside, probably zero degree or even sub-zero, then I took AirRail shuttle to a town called Reading which I also happen to never visit before, it s one hour away from London via Metro. Currently I m residing at Pentahotels and I don t have much to do here, the town is fine I can see there re shops and small malls scattered around but nothing much to do. Have any of you been to this town before? Is there anything fun to do?
Well, you have an Oracle Mall and a lovely Broad Street next to it. The Oracle has a shopping mall on one side of the river and cafes and a cinema on the other one. Not far you have a hobby-craft huge store where you can spend hours. Take a train to Westfield Mall in London (open ticket for the whole day) or simply visit London 30 min to Paddington station.
Oh thanks Agnieszka this is really helpful, I saw Oracle Mall today and I m going to check it out once I m done with the business rent a car europe 18 years meeting. I m also planing to extend to my stay to visit the Westfield Mall, I heard it massive and must-visit.
