 On our way back to AUH, we had quite a number of VVIP and VIP in our flight and 1 of those was His Excellency, the President of Iceland, Mr. Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson. All the crew were happy because we were able to give, as always, an excellent service to these people. Pictures below were taken during my Heathrow trip last December 2007 with my friend Ann . Having only 20 Pounds, we took the crew bus service to Hounslow where London's National Railway could take us to Central London. Ann and I just went around the area for a little shopping, afterwards, bought an all-day rail pass at Hounslow station and took a 30-minute tuberide to Westminster. The temperature then was almost freezing (which was at 2 degrees celcius), nevertheless, Asian people like us, who are not used to this kind of weather, could not embrace the cold breeze of London. We only spent almost 5 hours wandering at Central London because our winter clothes were not enough to protect us from this unbearable cold. See pictures and know a little things about them (source: Wikipedia).   Cock Tower (pictures above): Big Ben  Big Ben forms part of the Houses of Parliament (pictures above).  British Airway's London Eye We headed back to Hounslow to catch the bus service to the hotel, unfortunately, we missed it so we just took it as an opportunity to experience a bus ride to get back to Park Inn.
Despite the high standard of living in London, I would always want to do this sector, not to mention the nice and well-mannered passengers, because there are alot of things to see in this city like London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, etc. Hopefully, next time, when I get to do this sector again, I can be with someone I love. Soon, maybe? Who knows? In God's time...
