Day 14- Twins Reunited

Everyone else had a earlier flight so I waited in the lobby of the airport until I could check in for about five hours. I will admit that I got a little choked up after everyone left. Traveling alone is lonely and I'll miss everyone in the group. I fought back sleep for the next few hours (got to read all four books I downloaded on my kindle before leaving) until I could check in around 5am. I went through security, had my passport stamped again (Post note from the day we left England: which wasn't a thing in England. I kept bugging Tisha when we left about getting my passport stamped to leave the UK. After going through a round of questions in the Bangalore airport I couldn't get it in my head that the UK would just let us... leave.)

Anyway, I was able to board the plane around 8am. I'd become so used to flying at this point that I wasn't scared like I used to be.  I just really wanted to get on the plane so I could sleep. The flight wasn't too bad, only about 9-10 hours.

I got off the plane, went through customs (having an India stamp earned me a smile from the immigration officer and some conversation), and headed towards the baggage area. Guess who was standing by the baggage belt? The twin. Reunited we got my luggage and got a cab.

The cab driver was nice but the cab was so expensive! After being in India where you can get a fancy dinner for $3, it's hard getting used to English prices! We walked around a bit, explored Victoria Station then went back to the hotel and passed out.
