7th August 2009

Mal and I were up and packed again and headed off to Stansted. Our luggage together was 49.6kilos, so just the right weight. We had taken several books out of our hand luggage and stuffed them in Mal’s pockets but this time they didn’t weigh our hand luggage.

We think we were on CTA’s new plane and the air hostesses had a new uniform and were very pleasant. The new crew got on the plane at Istanbul in the old uniforms and miserable faces, so we are presuming the first crew had been borrowed from another airline.   The plane left 15 minutes late but the pilot made up the time and we arrived 15 minutes early and bless him, our neighbour David was waiting there for us at Ercan.

We arrived home and jumped in the pool.
