Interesting and impressive that KQ serves Gobillard Champagne. Their retail outlet is just over the road from Dom Perignon's Abbey at Hautvillers.

I recall buying a bottle or two there to cart home after a visit to the Abbey back in the day.

You have certainly had a great trip!

It's given me ideas for expanding what I had already booked for Africa next year.

The thimble was very nice. I should have had more!!

After first drinks service and lunch, the crew hid behind the curtains. I should have just pressed the call button a few times!

JNB is such a cough show. I suppose no more so than plenty of other airports around the world. Takes forever to get out of it and forever to get in it.

Beer o'clock at the BA lounge. Departure is slowly getting later. Guessing 63 must have been late getting in

Quick pre-airport recap

Shoe wash


Breakfast included and it was a great spread. Just the omelette was a miss. Too much extras and not enough egg to support it then overcooked


War just wandered around Rosebank Mall for a couple of hours then watched tele in the room. 2pm late check-out but clearly that hadn't been passed on to housekeeping. We decided to give them the room at 1.15.

Really nice lunch. This hotel has some very ordinary reviews but we thought it was great. Good location, nice rooms, good facilities, nice staff and good food

No thimbles here



Last trip for this poor old thing. Held together with packing tape. bAlt's blew a wheel on the way to the Radisson. I'll take one off mine before it goes in the bin to get a few more troops out of it
