My body arrived back in South Africa today...though my soul and our bags haven't made it yet. Heathrow was a mess. Our flight from Brussels was delayed as a result of the stringent precautions undertaken in the UK against possible terrorism.
We landed in Heathrow 5 minutes before our flight to Johannesburg was supposed to depart. Then waited for a martial to show up so that we could park. The pilot 'reassured' us that another plane had waited for 2 hours for the same privilege. Fortunately a totally stressed out man was waiting for us on the airstrip. He drove us across the airport at speeds that defied land travel and we made it in time to wait for our delayed flight home.
Our bags are apparently still hanging out in limbo.
Hopefully they make it, since the no-carry-on policy meant that we had to check our laptops and absolutely everything else.
For now, all I care about is the comfy bed upstairs.
Night night.
