Day 13

Day 13 We awoke needing a quick shower and back to the airport. We stopped for breakfast a lovely American breakfast which ended up costing more than R300 the most expensive breakfast I have ever had. We boarded our next KLM flight without a hitch. 12 hours and we would be home. We found our seats to have the best seats in the plane. Lyndsay did a great job pre booking and getting us seats right in the front row which meant we had no one in front of us and about a meter leg room. Lyndsay was very disappointed that she didn’t get a Christmas roast which is what she expected. However she did get Pizza so that wasn’t too bad. Toward the end of the flight we found out that the Soweto Gospel quire was on board and they sang Christmas carols for all the passengers which made the flight quite special. As we landed we looked through the cabin to business class and we saw a familiar face. Bakkies Botha. This made Lyndsay’s holiday it was the cherry on an excessively lavish cake. She got to meet Bakkies Botha! Seriously she got to meet him in person. He is enormous and he looked like he had just come out of a war but none the less a great experience. We had reached SA soil and it was great to be home. Hearing a Zulu accent I wish I could say to was good to hear but it was still fantastic to be home. Graham and Gail were waiting for us when exited the terminal and off went for our 45 minute trip home.
