Cape Town Bound<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

We spent Wednesday packing and getting ready for our flight to Cape Town.  Callum was getting very excited to be going back on a plane again.  As Dad couldn\u2019t drive us to the airport after a nasty fall, Janine and the boys very kindly stepped in to help (thanks Janine!).  The motorway was quite busy at it was rush hour but we were there for 6.30pm.   Thanks Janine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our flight wasn\u2019t until 9.30pm and we didn\u2019t have lounge access (Callum very disappointed on that score!).  I let Callum decide where we would eat before catching our flight.  It boiled down to Wagamamas or Giraffe.  Wagamamas won as Daddy wasn\u2019t with us.  Callum ordered Chicken & Prawn Phad Thai whilst I went for my usual Beef Teriyaki Soba.  Service wasn\u2019t particularly great \u2013 Callum had finished his Phad Thai before my main arrived, and my glass of wine arrived after that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boarding was very straightforward and we were sat in a block of three seats.  Our travelling companion for the journey was a lady in her 70’s, returning back to SA as her sister had just died.  She told Callum to give her a gentle nudge if she started snoring!  She didn’t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Callum settled down to watch the Spongebob film which he found really funny. He didn\u2019t want any dinner (not surprising given what he\u2019d eaten for tea). \u00a0Once the film had finished, he settled down to sleep. \u00a0I followed soon after and we both dozed for most of the 12 hour flight to Cape Town.<\/p>\n
