2. The first part of our trip is well on the way




Yesterday we left S.A. and arrived here in Holland this morning. We had a good flight but did find yesterday a very long day as we got up at 04h00 and left Durban at 08h30 so spent most of the day at Joberg airport. Our flight from there was at 23h30 but we had not wanted to have the possibility of our domestic flight being delayed so had taken the early morning flight instead of the late afternoon one. Douglas was thrilled that we found a place where he could have his oasts for breakfast so we had a good start to the day. I treated myself to prawns for a late lunch so that was another highlight. We had our supper on the plane at 01h00 this morning. Breakfast was at 08h00 and we arrived at Amsterdam at 10h00. I managed to get 6 hours of sleep so the trip seemed very short. We had a lovely afternoon at the animal farm and then enjoyed a good dinner and as we had contacted the family in S.A. on Skype we feel that we can now retire for a good nights sleep, the only problem is that it is still broad daylight even though its past 21h00. Our room has a good system of blinds so we should manage to bluff ourselves that it is dark.
