LANDING IN KIGALI

05th July 2015 – 8:44

I usually think that a picture can speak for itself.

Maybe a little bit tricky to accommodate all those suitcases in 2 trucks plus 16 teachers from Scotland in 4 cars at Kigali airport, Rwanda. Everybody was very excited, maybe a little anxious of what would happen next.

Yes, it is time for a pause and a pose while my first shot is taken in Kigali. I managed to carry a world map all the way from Aberdeen to Kigali without losing it. 

My husband has observed – “You have carried the world half way around it  haha…”

My friend Anne Goldie also said – “got your map ready…”

Yippee! I have made it!

SURVIVING AIRPORTS AND AIRPLANES

LONG FLIGHT

Sleeping well on a long flight is never easy for me. However, I always hope to meet interesting people while  flying abroad. A good chat is always welcome.  But this time my KLM flights were very quiet from Aberdeen to Amsterdam, then Nairobi and finally Kigali.

A GOOD SEAT

I am aware that not all airplane seats are the same, but the best place for me is an aisle seat. It means that I can stretch my legs, go for a walk or to the toilet any time I want without disturbing anyone.

TEMPTING MEAL

I have to confess that  I cannot ignore a meal on long flights and this one in particular carried a taste of African flavour, slightly spicy, but I really enjoyed it.

ENTERTAINMENT

The long flight was smooth and I could watch 3 films; Black and White, The Water Divine and Fifty Shades of Grey. In fact, the last one I could not finish watching it due to the time remaining. Anyway, it is always something I enjoy doing when flying long distances.
