One of my members of staff and I went to the UK 7 years back. This was our first visit to the UK. We landed at Heathrow Airport at 9.30 on a Sunday morning. We checked out and outside the airport was a man with our name boards. We got in the car and drove off towards Leicester.It was a long drive (3 hours) but the amazing thing is that the driver didn't talk to us at all and we were scared to talk to him. The countryside was interesting to look at.
When he dropped us at our hotel we had our lunch and went for a walk. The next day we had meetings, and all week we were based in the office or meeting technologists. On Friday we went to the airport to return to Sri Lanka. We arrived at Terminal 4 and found that our flight had been changed to Qatar Airlines. We took a train and went to another Terminal where they told us that Sri Lankan Airlines had to sign off our tickets. We went back to Terminal 4 and they told us to go to the London office. We didn't have time to do that so we had an argument...but still nothing happened.
The next flight wasn't until Sunday morning. So what could we do now???
We had left our jackets at the hotel and we were shivering.
The next day we went to London and visited lots of places: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square... it was great fun.
We ended the day by going up in the London Eye. It was a fantastic trip.
Thank you Sri Lankan Airlines for my extra day!!!
