London, England

On the morning of February 12th, Stanley woke up as the plane was landing in London, England.

He had heard a lot about the history of England, very closely linked to that of "New England," of course, where Stanley was born.

He had also read a lot of stories that take place in England. Ones he particularly liked were:

• "A Bear Called Paddington" and the series that follows...
• "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the series that follows...
• "Treasure Island"
• "The Wind in the Willows"
• "Alice in Wonderland"

As much as he wanted to explore the city of London to see Paddington Station, to see train platform 9-3/4 at King's Cross Station, to shop at Harrod's for scones and to ride the famous double-decker buses...

...he had to wait at the airport for his next flight to Johannesburg, South Africa!

In the meantime, he ate fish and chips and drank tea with milk at the airport. He also had fun looking at planes and people from all over the world, coming together at Heathrow Airport.

That gigantic, heavy plane was going to take him all the way to the southernmost part of Africa? Was Pilot Jeff really sure these big things could fly?
