Day 1: Ready for Take Off

I am excited to be writing this blog post from over 30,000 feet having just finished some of the tastiest plane food EVER!!!

We made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare and met ARC, MW and HC at our check in area. After putting all of our bags in more bags we were ready to go. 

All checked in, we were escorted to a special security area where we went straight through and were ready for some quality departure lounge perusing. 

To many of the girls delight we came across a Doctor Who Tardis/photo booth. Which entertained us before we tucked into tea. 

We then set off on the typical airport trek to find our gate. It was at the gate it finally sunk in that we were off to Africa and this was real. 

We have already attracted some attention from other flyers as we are sat in the middle of the plane with our blue shirts on taking up almost 3 whole rows of the plane.

Only 8 hours until we touch down in Johannesburg and set off on our first day's activities.
