All a bit confusing as to what the time is where. We flew from Washington for 11 hours to Ghana, where we stopped for a bit more than an hour to re-fuel, lost some beautiful passengers with amazing hairstyles (or wigs) and incredibly colorful outfits)? It now seems like just as long a haul to Johannesburg. According to the map we are now over Botswana and have about another 44 minutes to our next stop. Then nearly 3 hours till our flight to Cape Town. All part of our journey and of the airlines we have flown on this trip, SAA have been by far the best. No Southern Comfort though but last night I did have a brandy and ginger ale and then a proper little bottle of wine with supper (none of this plastic cup filled from a plastic litre bottle of very average Italian wine). The food has been good and I had the most delicious poached salmon with a tomato and basil sauce and a risotto type rice (not sure why they had to add spaghetti as well).
Nothing like a Klippies and an Avomine to induce some sleep
I watched Robert Downey Jnr and Robert Duval in The Judge (excellent although I did have to re-watch the ending this morning). Michael got all wrapped up in The Sound of Music, humming (quite loudly) to himself and doing orchestral direction signals to Julie Andrews (love this man). Today has been spent dozing, trying to read a bit and The Second Best Marigold Hotel.
And we are beginning our descent.....
Now in Jhb, our flight was late not sure about our bags. Ottawa said they would check them through to Cape Town but surely we have to take the bags through customs?
Must say a shower, our own bed, two Rosslee boys and Alfie (in no particular order) tonight and family, a braai and friends tomorrow (also no particular order).
Cannot believe that it is all over. One more flight!! Southern Comfort?
