• The long trip home

    February 15 in Chile ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    This journey is a slog on par with travelling from Oz and Nz
    I set off at 8am to accomodate local traffic,only to discover thr taxi flew through in 20mins from my hotel to the airport.
    The aiport was quiet and I had sky priority so quickly got through security
    My flight wasnt until midday ,so a long wait from about 9.30am
    Eventually boarded the plane and though it grieves me to say ,air france business class is very good ...it had many of thr features emirates have...hot towels ,champagne on arrival ,a quilt and pillow plua a quilted seat cover for whn you sleep
    I had also been able to order my meal weeks ago ! 😅...snd they have the most sensible table of any airline,that is stored under the tv monitor and can be easily pushed away
    However ...they did Not have ordinary tea....!!! So i had to get my case down and use my Yorkshire tea bags 🤣
    I had a very comfy flight though somehow didnt sleep much despite the lie flat bed
    We arrived in Paris at 6am local time ( 3hr time difference with Chile )
    I had a 3hr wait for my flight to Manchester,which extended to 4hrs
    Eventually on 16th Feb ,I arrived at Manchester Airport at 11.am.
    Id been on the go since 8am the previous day
    However I felt I would be safe to drive ,so went to collect my car at Matthew's house
