We are sitting here, waiting to leave. There is a thunderstorm, and it is raining. It was sunny all day – but now we have thunder and lightening. We got stopped by the Police at the airport, allegedly I didn’t stop at the stop sign. He was going to give me a ticket, but then started asking how much I wanted to pay. I said “if you are going to give me a ticket do it, but I won’t pay you any money”. Obviously it was too much writing, and he was just out to make a few hundred rand from a tourist, as he didn’t give me a ticket.
So we are sitting in the café, drinking latte and watching the planes manoeuvre, there are Qantas, Delta and South African within our view. All large planes going to Europe, Asia or America.
We are watching them tow our plane in the gate, now. At least we will be able to check if our luggage goes on. The number is G-CIVZ
It is about 11 hours flying time back to England.
