When in Europe the U.K and Beyond: Arrival



The morning started around 4:30 am as we made our way to the airport. Once we got there we checked our bags and got through security in about 15 minutes or so. Our flight wasn't boarding until 7:20 so we had a solid two hours to kill. It seemed like eternity till we finally got to board the plane. Once we did to my pleasant surprise there was a wide array of activities to do on the plane. One could choose to play video games, watch movies, watch TV or even follow the flight path of the plane. I found following the flight path of the plane particularly entertaining. We were served an English Breakfast and by far it was one of the most tasty foods that I have ever had! There was a wide variety of movies to choose from, I watched the movies "Bridge of Spies" and "Ted 2". We were also served a vegetable sandwich with provolone cheese, it was delicious. Overall I'd say that the flight exceeded my expectations.



When we got to London, it took awhile to get to the hotel. Once we got to the High Street Kensington stop, we had to go and locate our hotel. After some directions from some locals we made it to the hotel. We were exhausted and tired from the days travels.



After we checked into the hotel we went out for a late dinner at a small pub called "Bill's". I ordered an Estrella Barcelona, it tasted good and so far my favorite beer I’ve had. After we finished eating at “Bill’s” we headed back to the hotel. My father and I went to the bar within the hotel and got two “Tigers”. We struck up a conversation with the Bartender, he was originally from India but he moved here six months ago. He was a very nice individual and he was able to give us some tips on where to go and what to see. Tomorrow we explore the city, I can’t wait to see it!
