After a few teary goodbyes we were on our way...
I had to take off my pants in front of everyone getting through security at YVR..Still not sure why.
British Airways was pretty good...Free booze and blankets etc plus 2 good meals. When we landed we had to bus to the terminal. I gave a plastic bag to a lady who had just enough time to reply "oh god thanks" before she barfed into it...I let her keep the bag.
Got the bus from Heathrow to Southampton then found the ferry to Hythe. The "coach" was alright...like a run-down westcoast express coach with a bathroom that was 200 degrees and dirtier than a construction porto-potty.
Everybody we asked for directions was really rude...Maybe they think we're American?
Arrived 6pm UK time, had a few beers and then went to sleep. Already adjusted for UK time...
You had to take off your pants?????????? What the hell??
ReplyDeleteI am not even sure if they are allowed to do that!!
Glad to hear that you are doing great though!! So excited to read more!!
Cheers from a country close by
hahah they wanted to see my money belt but it was a bit loose and had slipped down so I had no choice.. I just thought it was funny.
ReplyDeleteBut they really did comb through every bill in the money belt, my wallet...everything.
I still kept setting off the metal detector but they were eventually convinced I wasn't the uni-bomber
