If you’ve been following my blogs, you would have noticed by now that I have somewhat of an electric personality. Why? Well, for the 2nd time in a month, my plane gets hit by lightning, not once this time, but twice - on both wings!!! You want to know what that looks like? I don’t actually know, myself and all other 200 passengers had our eyes closed for the rest of the flight! No seriously, the lightning burnt the wings black - it’s pretty scary seeing bright lights and hearing big bangs - something like Guy Fawkes, just at 25,000 feet in the air!
What a nightmare trip to Johannesburg - I woke up at 4:30am, fetched Eric, made it on time for my flghts (6:30am), only to sit on the runaway for 45 minutes, while they unsuccessfully tried to fix a malfunctioning fuel pump. Eventually, they return to the terminal where we disembark and have breakfast. We then reboard another flight at 9:10, again - flight delayed for another 30 minutes. When we eventually take off, the weather has gotten worse…now I’m sitting in the plane - listening to lightning blasts - thinking to myself - maybe I should have just stayed in bed!
Anyways, enough b*tching. I don’t really have anything in mind to write about - just wanted to write what could be potentially have been or could be my last blog!!
