Day -3 London to Santiago

The adventure begins. Had a day in the Premier Inn, in Hounslow. Bought a last minute hot water bottle 😂 Well I am going to the Antarctic! Went to Heathrow Terminal 5 3 hours before the flight and had a nice meal in Wagamama. Boarding was on time and we left at 10:15pm. I'm in a window seat and then I've an empty seat beside me with a lovely 80 year old woman called Olivia from Santiago in the aisle seat. She is very worried about me being on my own and has given me her phone number and I'm to ring her if I get into any trouble while I'm in Chile - which was very sweet of her. Her husband is from Scotland. I was able to stretch out and got about 4-5 hours sleep.
I had great views of the Andes and of the sunrise. We seemed very close to the mountains - but apparently that's to avoid the bad turbulence like I previously experienced in Santiago. arrived 14 hours later in Santiago.Weiterlesen
