June 20: Tuesday

When the plane finally landed in Heathrow airport England it was 5 o'clock in the morning London time, it was Tuesday now. 

We knew we were supposed to take the train to our hotel and we had supposed had supposed that someone knew the train route. Everyone walked with determination but no one knew where we were going. In the end we took 3 trains, during rush hour, with what seemed to be our body weights in luggage. This is when we discovered that the English have a different sense of spacial awareness, we were jostled and pushed from all sides. It was a rather surreal experience, our first experience on the subway or "tubes," we were all completely exhausted and we were often separated by the crowds. We went through King's Cross Station, but the adults were too jet lagged to care. 

Before the trip I designed and sent out Hogwarts letters to all the girls coming with me to London, the letters said they had been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We were supposed to be at platform 9 3/4 at 11:00 on June 20th. We missed our train.

When we arrived at the appropriate tube stop we walked what seemed like a mile to our hotel the "Jury's Inn at Islington." We arrived too early to check in to the hotel, so we dropped off our luggge and went out to breakfast. We ate at a pub called the "York" I ate a delicous breakfast sandwhich
