Day 56 & 57 Homeward Bound

It’s home time!  We have loved South Africa - thankyou Cunard for rerouting the ship and bringing us to Capetown, we’ve loved every minute of it and left us definitely wanting to return.

We’re flying home with Turkish Airlines so going via Istanbul.  We caught our first flight at 4.30pm and it took approx 12 hours to get to Istanbul.  Once there we had a 3 hour window before we got on the final flight to London.  The flights were fine, I watched a couple of films - “Wicked” which was then followed by a George Clooney and Brad Pitt film called Wolfs (whoever came up with that title obviously doesn’t know the rule that f becomes ves when the word wolf becomes plural!).  Andy watched Gladiator II.

We flew to Heathrow  and were back home by lunchtime, exactly 8 weeks after we left on our big adventure.

It’s been a blast, we’ve met the loveliest people and seen amazing sights.  We now have an empty holiday folder so time for Andy to start planning the next big adventure!

A last selfie before heading to the airport

I don’t think Andy wants to go home

It’s been a fabulous trip.
