What can I say about sleeping in an Engine Room
Easy to jump on the free bus and voila here !
What a sight!



Here’s my happy 717 (joking. It’s the room number !)




Inside it’s cosy warm, bed is soft and quite dark


Inside of the front door !

This is the view from the bedroom window!


Some outside shots!

This is the wing which looks like an outdoor booze area. It’s lit up but no one is on it tonight. It’s a cool 4 I think.....
Showers are in the main cabin and I’m surprised how many people have checked in after me. A good dozen or more !!

In the morning, I’ll take some daytime photos ....
