We arrived at London's Heathrow airport on time, shortly after 6am. We went through customs and baggage collection without any problems despite what we'd heard about the English giving South Africans a hard time....and fortunately didn't need to produce the letters from work saying we'd be back on 26th.
I was amazed at how organised the airport was. You have to be really stupid to get lost in there :) I popped into a Marks and Spencer just to have a look at the prices and Dion decided to take a picture of me but was stopped by a policeman who told him they don't allow any pictures in the airport. A big difference from KLIA in Malaysia where we snapped away without anyone giving us a second look :)
We bought our travel cards from the machine for zones 1 - 6 (£7 each) as instructed by our friend, Karen, and followed her (very detailed) directions to the house.
This is me resting on the underground... it's so easy to fall asleep especially after a 10 1/2 hour flight with only 4 hours' sleep!
and this is me waiting for the train at Victoria station - these trains leave EXACTLY on time. Our train this particular morning left at 8.51 and the minute the clock clicked to 51, the train pulled off. Very impressive!
Don't you love this picture? The blue and grey bags are mine and the others are Dion's.
