Erik's Blog (24 June) The flight from Huascal to Puerto Amlugo was delayed (six hours!). I was worried I’d get stuck at the airport (and hoped that the airline would put me up in a nice hotel) but anyway the flight wasn’t cancelled and we finally took off. The weather was awful, and we experienced a lot of turbulence. In fact, the flight was so bumpy that I got airsick (very unpleasant!). But the cabin crew were very friendly and helpful, which made me feel better. The landing was not so bad and soon we were at the terminal collecting our baggage. I slept well last night - I think I’ve got over the jet lag I had after my 12-hour flight from Europe. Mona's Blog (5 July) I didn’t have a reservation for the Eurostar train from Paris to London, but they put me on standby and I got a seat on a later train. It was a good journey, everything ran smoothly and it arrived on time. In London, I enquired if there was a sleeper car on the train to Scotland so I could travel overnight. The alternative was a hotel and the early morning train at 6.30 am (too early for me!). When I get to Scotland I want to go to some of the islands. I hope the sea is calm. I hate rough seas - I always get seasick!
