Thank you BAA

Last year seemed like most of my travelling didn't go so smoothly with all the strikes and volcano. Just before christmas, I was stuck YET AGAIN trying to get to Hong Kong from Edinburgh. Thanks to the very efficient and hard working BAA, I was stuck in the UK for 5 days and ended up taking 4 different flight to get home...
The only thing that makes the whole experience less annoying is that BA said they I could spend up 200 on a hotel and they would pay for it later on (after 9 hours of queueing and got told that they couldn't book us a room as they were full), fair enough, so i checked into Hotel Missoni after browsing on TripAdvisor for 5 mins. After I got my room, I was glad that I booked this place, the interior is just what one would expect from the Missoni brand, the bright colour and stripe pattern used on wall and furniture fabric look fabulous. The room is colourful and to me they didn't over do it. It wasn't all just the look, the material that were used in the room were good quality, unlike most chain hotel. However my favourite object in the room was, of course, the Nespresso coffee machine! So during my stay, I spent almost all the time staying in the room watching TV chilling, drinking coffee and emptying the mini bar.
The 5 days getting stuck experience turns out to be rather relaxing, all the stuff i talked to were friendly, for some random reason me and the bartender even had a conversation about AutoCAD... not the kind of stuff that you normally expect to talk about in a bar. 
Now I just hope that I could be `stuck' in a nice hotel everytime my travel plan goes wrong...
