Ottawa to Heathrow to Cape Town - a 2 Day Affair

We left Richmond around 4:00 p.m. and were driven to the airport by our neighbour, Doug Arnold.

We boarded the plane at 6:45 p.m. and were off to Heathrow, arriving at 6:45 a.m. on November 7^th (Wednesday). We did not sleep on the plane so were pretty warn out. We sat around Heathrow and waited for the rest of the group which arrived around noon. We then headed off to tour London with Gavin Webb as the tour guide. We had a bus tour and a typical roast beef dinner at Ye Olde Cock Tavern. Most of the group went on the London Eye (Millennium Eye) to see London from up high but Bruce and I chose to stay by the waterfront and saw some ‘statue people’ which were amazing. At 4:00 p.m. we checked in at Heathrow Terminal 1 for our 12 hour flight to Cape Town.
