The runways at Bristol airport were in the process of being resurfaced and the temporary surface combined with the wet weather had caused a few planes to slide off the runway earlier in the week. Rather than risk a slippery landing, Aer Lingus opted to fly us into Cardiff and then bus us over to Bristol where we caught a train to Bath. We then checked into a nice room below a soon-to-be-opened restaurant which plans to serve both sushi and crepes.
