I had a fairly decent sleep in the plane thanks to some generous leg room in the plane. That was the only thing good about this flight. We reached London at 12:54pm as the VA guys promised us. The flight in general was smooth with very few turbulences. The plane was shaking a bit before landing but it was not too bad.
We went to the baggage claim section right away. We got our luggage within a few minutes after the lights at the belt started blinking. We took our bags and started heading towards the train station. Manoj told us that he would meet us around 4pm or so at Euston Station. Finally, we got the tickets on British Rail on Victoria line. Victoria line was available on platforms 1 and 4. I decided to take 4 but then I found out we should have taken platform 1. It was too late and so we had to get down at London Bridge Station and take the northern line to Euston. This took us probably 15-20 minutes more than what we planned but it was not too bad. We reached Euston Station around 3:30pm or so and was looking for Manoj everywhere. Finally, as we walked out, we saw him walking into the station at 4pm. He took us straightaway to Travelodge where we checked ourselves in. Then we headed off to his apartment which was about a few blocks from our hotel. He made us a cup of tea and introduced us to his apartmates Dan and his girlfriend Jane. We had some nice chat for a few hours. I cannot recall now what we did for dinner. Anyways, we went back to our room by 8pm or so and decided to retire for the day.
