London - Day 1 - Part 1

We made it!

After a pretty bearable 8.5 hr flight from Denver to London, we landed at noon London time. Amy and I have both traveled a lot so we thought that we would be passing through immigration pretty quickly. Little did we know that the simple fact that I hadn't printed a hard copy of our flight itinerary would send us into a tailspin of problems because according to the immigration officer she had no proof that we were going to be leaving and therefore interrogated us about every single detail of why we were here, who we know, their contact info, how we met them, the last time we saw them and talked to them, which landmarks we wanted to see, how much cash we had on us, how much was in our bank accounts, how much credit we had on our credit cards, etc. Needless to say we became a little worried that she kept asking questions and asked for more and more information and not seeming like she would let us in.



So, after getting scolded for not having our plans here planned enough we were finally allowed into England. Amy and I were very tired and the train ride to Paddington station was a bit edgy and weird. After we got into the station our friend Anna met up with us and we rested for a bit and got coffee (or glass bottled water in my case). Then we hopped on a double decker bus and rode to Camden where Anna lives.

I am happy to have made it here safely. We are getting ready to go out and do things and stuff.

Cheers.
