Noa arrived around 8 AM to pick me up and we drove to the airport, with no troubles, yet. At the airport, we quickly passed security and arrived on time at our gate. Our flight left at 11.30 Dutch time. During the flight it was quite cloudy so we couldn't see the land/sea underneath us.
There was also a slight problem at the Heathrow airport, it was quite busy at the time our plane wanted to land so we had to fly a few circles and then we could finally land. The landing and take-off had no troubles at all.
Once we arrived at the UK airport, we went to security so Noa could get her bag from the baggage claim. We showed our identification passes and the border security started questioning us. I was fifteen, so not an adult yet. The border security questioned us, where we were going, how long we were going to stay in England. They put us apart, in a different space where other people were as well where they called some people. Some time later, the man came back to us and said that everything is alright.
After that, Noa got her bag and we got out of the airport, to our Hotel in Slough. We went by bus and the owner of the hotel greeted us. He was very polite and told us about nearby shops.
We arrived at the hotel at 2.30 PM (UK time) and decided to rest for a bit and then explore the streets. There was a nearby Marks and Spencer station, where we bought some food.
In the evening we went to this take-away pizza place a few streets away and it was delicious. We went back to our hotel and watched some movies and prepared for our trip to London tomorrow.

Hi Ltte, Good to hear that you arrived safe and sound at your hotel. I got a bit nervous yesteday when a got a phone call from British immigration services, but all turned out fine after answering a few questions. They wanted to make sure that you didn't run away from home!
Have a nice day in London on Sunday, and off to work on Monday!
