touchdown LONDON! :)

                    

after much preparation which includes visa appointments, organization and completion of documents, and shopping galore, the GLOBETROTTERS proudly shouted, "EUROPE, HERE WE COME!" :)

April 20, 2011: we met at NAIA Terminal 1 at 10pm (err, around 10:15 because I was late. hihi) then we endeavored from checking our luggages in to the immigration section. then, we waited for an hour and a half before boarding the 1:15am flight.

say hello to globetrotters MARVIN and TANNY :)

digiperm love :)))))

We deposited our boarding passes since there were no more available seats for us at Gate 6. so, we waited at Gate 3.

Without any delay, we flew to Abu Dhabi through Etihad Airways.

 Finally, we landed at Abu Dhabi International Airport and we waited for more than an hour for our connecting flight to London also through Etihad Airways.

Tanny watched Hating Kapatid along the way :p

We arrived at London Heathrow Airport at around 2:30pm and Uncle Jorge picked us up at Terminal 4. Since the traffic was heavy that day, we had to ride the tube (the train) from Terminal 4 to Brixton Station.

it was a long ride from Terminal 4 to Green Park

we had to change train (Victoria Line) from Green Park to Brixton Station

these 3 luggages were brought up and down the stairs

Uncle Alan picked us up near the Brixton Station. surprisingly, London or specifically Brixton is filled with mostly Black people.

then, we arrived at 73 Fawnbrake Avenue, London SE24 OBE :))))) After the tour in the house and unpacking, we freshened up and prepared for dinner with Ate Mitch and Kuya Melville <3
