day 71

England day! We woke up and had breakfast, which was cornflakes and toast which was good. I had to repack my suitcase, and thankfully everything still fit in it. We ended up leaving the hotel about 8.15 and it took an hour to get to the airport. When we got to the airport we were pretty quick getting the luggage checked in. I changed most of my rupees into pounds and got a subway meal wich the remaining rupees I had left. It was disappointing shopping wise, there was only 1 duty free shop, and they only accepted american dollars. I asked a woman why this was the case, as we were in India, so they should accept their own currency, and she gave me some random excuse which didnt make any sense. So I thought, well if they dont want my money, they wont get it! We were meant to board at 12.30, and at 12.40, someone said we were running a bit late because Prince Edward was on our flight. And that very second, he walked past us with a load of police. Im guessing it was him as he was bald and a man. I dont actually know who Price Edward is. I was under the impression it was him that was married to Fergie, but thats Prince Andrew. So all I know he is the Queens son. So we boarded about 10 mins later, and the plane wasnt as snazzy as the one we arrived on! Obviously Prince Edward isnt that good in the royal family if the plane wasnt that good! But although the plane was older and the entertainment wasnt as good for films, TV and music...it did have 1 redeeming feature... A FREE BAR!!! So I thought, I shant be rude and decline Virgin's offer of beverages, so I had 4 beers. Over the course of the flight I might add. After the 4th, we hit some turbulence. That is when I decided 4 was enough, as drinking and jumping up and down doesnt feel too great. We arrived at Heathrow half an hour early, and our bags were some of the first ones off the converyorbelt...happy times! So by about 6.15 me and Duane headed off to find the underground. When we got there we saw Katie, so we got on the tube with her too. Once on the tube, we saw Matea at the other end of the carriage with her mum, holding a welcome home balloon. It was quite funny. We had to change at Leicester Square, so said by to Katie and as soon as we got to the right platform, it arrived. We were only on the underground about 40mins instead of the hour we were told it would take. Once we got to Euston we got the tickets and Duane got a Burger King and we sat down. Then that blonde doctor who's quite young who does programmes on C4 walked past. He looked quite stressed. Anywayyyy, it was finally time to get on our train, and it was virtually empty. I had a nap on the train, and in no time at all we were at Piccadilly. And I met the family there! And that concludes my Indian Adventure, I hope you have enjoyed my little story!
