A Quick Flight To Quito

It was gone 8:30pm when we got in last night from the day in the rainforest and then by the time we had eaten, had a last drink with Carol's sister as she is flying home today, it was 11ish before I got to bed. Not too bad normally, but we had a 4am flight to catch, so getting ready for a 2am cab meant I got 2 hour 15 minutes sleep.

So got the cab ok, checked in fine, then going through immigration noticed they'd given us the wrong boarding pass for our connecting flight in Bogota. So I checked my emails and realised they hadn't made a mistake. They'd messaged me 3 minutes after getting into the cab that the first flight would be late and the 1 hour 25 minute transfer would now be an 8 hour transfer.

Frustrating, but luckily we had nothing planned today. We were going to take it easy today, however, we hadn't anticipated a leisurely day at the airport. We did get into a lounge for £16 each which helped. You're only normally allowed in 3 hours before your flight but they took pity on us. We definitely got our money's worth though, in gin and tonic alone. Czytaj więcej
