Luckily, the Green Bird is flying overhead and the captain manages to pull Pigín in the cockpit window. And so his unexpected adventure begins … Pigín enjoys visiting the sights in London: a trip to Buckingham Palace, a ride on the River Thames and even a go around the London Eye. What a wonderful time he has! But when he sees Nanakit waiting for him at Dublin airport he realises there’s no place like home.
