Thursday, 14th Jan - Bristol Airport
Well it had to happen, all was going too well! We managed to get out of the village okay despite there being six inches of lying snow deposited the previous day, but on arrival at Bristol airport we were advised that our first flight to Amsterdam had been cancelled and as a result all our flights had been re-scheduled! So here we are, its 10.00 am and our new flight is not due to leave until 15.45 - something tells me we shall get to know Bristol airport better than we ever wanted to. In retrospect its a good job that decided to pass on the meeting with next door neighbour Marion's daughter in Tokyo, since we are now going via Hong Kong! The only other problem (apart from how do we stop ourselves dying of boredom at Bristol) is that the re-scheduled flights leave very little time for us to make our connection in Auckland for the onward flight to New Plymouth. Will we be in any fit state to sprint for this flight after 23 hours plus in the air? Watch this space!

...and I thought your journey was bad enough as it was! Well hopefully you are on your way now.
ReplyDeleteWell no one ever thought that a Carr trip would be without adventure!! I take back all I said about stopovers.
ReplyDeleteI am entering you for Mastermind - specialist subject Bristol Airport.
Morning :) Surely you wouldn't have to sprint to your next flight...i'm pretty sure the elderly get a lift on one of those special golf buggies with flashing lights... just an idea :) lol. Hope your journey is plodding along well wherever you are! Lots of love from all of us x
ReplyDeleteGoodness me! We did wonder how you were coping with the snow. By now you should be well on your way(hopefully catching a little sleep as you go)
