Flying to Heathrow

Saturday, 7 June 2008

The food on the plane was nice. They gave us jollof rice with chicken and fried plaintain – my favourite food! They gave us drinks too – I had orange juice.

I watched a little bit of the film they were showing, called Fool’s Gold, then I fell asleep.
I woke up before breakfast, which was tea, bread and cake.

When we stepped off the plane, the weather was too cold! I did expect it, I know that in London it is always very cold, so I had to expect it.

The first thing I noticed was that all the people who were looking at our papers were white people – quite different from Accra. After that, we waited for over an hour for our luggage, they had to apologise because people started to complain.

I went on the escalator for the first time at Heathrow – we had to be careful as it is quite hard at first getting on and off.
