Got into London, after a 3 hour plane delay - technical fault after boarding! I was stuck in the plane for a good 45 minutes before they announced that they needed more time to clear the problem. So t's back to the lounge for another 3 hours. A friend was correct - I am starting the trip rightly, better safe, and that's why last minute hiccup.
The phone battery was flat when the plane landed and I only realised then that I didnt have the address of Aunty Bern with me. It was a very long queue at the immigration and after the hour long queue, I had to explain my lack of an address to the Immigration Officer. She was kind to allow me through with a little reminder not repeat the offence again.
As the phone was dead, I had to try get some coins or smaller notes to call Bern. Luggage and all at hand, tired and frantic after the long delay - cursed when credit cards didnt seem to work on the public phones... Bern bless her heart! had paged for me at Heathrow, my name was repeated a few times over the PA system .. help was at hand!
Finally managed to get to Caledonian Rd station where Bern and David came to pick me up.
