Delayed Arrival

We were all set to meet the 2nd team in the early hours of Sunday morning, but received a phone call from the UK early Saturday evening to say that their flight had left late! Security at Heathrow had caused huge delays on all flights.

Still having no idea whether they would make the connection at Cairo, we all went to bed not knowing if we needed to get up at 3am to meet them. Linda would be receiving a phone call to say whether they had departed Cairo and told Marina and I she would wake us up if we needed to go, otherwise there was no point in all 3 of us not getting any sleep! I wasn’t going to argue with that!!

When I woke up the following morning it was obvious they hadn't made the connection!

There are only 2 flights a week from Cairo to Entebbe in Uganda and we did wonder what was going to happen, but they managed to get a flight late on Sunday night with Kenya airways which diverted them via Nairobi. They didn’t seem to mind too much when they were put up in a very posh 5* hotel, got to ride a camel and visited the pyramids! Just wish our day had been as exciting! Although it was nice to get an unexpected day off!

The team finally arrived early Monday morning. They had breakfast, we allowed them a quick shower and to change before heading off on the 8 hour drive to Rukungiri!
