Hello England. I’m home!

1st Nov 8:20am

In the airport, I struck up a conversation with an English looking man sat near me. We had the same flight to Nairobi and then onto Amsterdam. I spent the whole flight chatting to him. He had just climbed Kili and was heading home to Birmingham to his wife and two kids. I liked talking to him because it made the flight seem so much shorter.

We got onto the subject of Kili because I asked the air hostess which mountain either side of the plane was Kili. And it just so happened it was the one on my side – conveniently, the side with the sun rise too,

Needless to say I took lots of pictures.

I’m on the Amsterdam flight now, waiting to take off. I appear to be sat next to a foreign woman who is either drunk lost or incompetent.

God help us all for the rest of the flight.

I’m Kili airport, its dead! Check in isn’t open until 4:30am, guess I over compensated on time. Oh well.

1st Nov 1:40am

I can’t sleep at all, so I just got up and stripped my bed, packed all my loose stuff and went to sit in the main room.

I was absolutely shitting myself for the whole 50 minutes waiting for Kanali, because there were dogs or wolves or something really close by. Also the doors weren’t locked, I had to open the inside one to listen for Kanali, but the 2^nd gate type door wasn’t locked.

The woman sat next to me is picking her feet.

I’m used to it now.

1st Nov Time - unknown

This flight feels so long! I’ve slept a bit, watched 2 films whose names I don’t know. Looked at my photos. Over heated. Shivered. Ate. Felt sick. Been to the loo, in only socks – bad ass, and read a magazine.

I intend to do some school work, but it’s just not going to happen. I’m so tired and yet I can’t sleep. Wish me luck.
