Business is boooming a mile high


So when we arrived at Hosea Kutako our luck started to turn for the better and we got upgraded to business class for the trip from Windhoek to Joburg. I know its not much and its a shame that it wasn't for the longer leg of the journey, but business class is still business class. We got to hang out in the business class lounge and sit in the most comfortable chairs and we weren't served anything out of a plastic container. We actually got proper cutlery on an aeroplane! Who would have thought it possible? Our section of the plane was filled with very important business people doing very important business things and that didn't want to be interupted by anything that wasn't either a) Very important or b) Business related. That's why it was such a shame when we came across a very unhelpful SAA employee in Joburg, who just couldn't seem to get hold of his supervisor when we had been tagged for another upgrade. We supposedly didn't look important or businessy enough for him. Oh well.... 11 hours in a shoe box is that bad...... but who cares about our crappy flight? I'm in freakin LONDON!!!!
From the minute I set foot in the country everything was a blur. We went through the whole trip from Heathrow to our hotel in half an hour, which has to be some sort of record. when we got to the hotel our rooms weren't ready though, which immediately burst our bubbles.
We got straight to meeting and greeting though. I met the 2 nicest guys in the world during breakfast. They're my dad's friends from Botswana. I love Chicken. He's a character that guy!
We took a quick shower in their room, before setting off and starting our London adventure.
