Firstly. I'm in Bermuda. Got here yesterday. And today I did the tourist thing and visited a few places.
The journey
All went well for the Doncaster to Kings Cross leg of the journey. My family dropped me off at Doncaster station - it was hard to be leaving them for this long time - but when I got to the Underground - shock horror - the Victoria line was shut. Detoured via the Circle line. we actually went up into the sunlight for a short time. Victoria to Gatwick was ok. Then trying to check in my bag, the previously agreed carriage of my lifejacket caused me to have to stay at check in FOR OVER HALF AN HOUR. I was not happy. At all. But I then passed through the rest of Customs / passport control quite quickly.
On the plane, a Boeing 777, and taxiing. Stop then WHOOSH, I got pushed hard into my seat. Those Rolls Royce engines certainly do the job. And they continued pushing us up to 40,000 feet - I got pictures of the Atlantic from 8 miles up ! Wow.
On arrival in Bermuda, I took a couple of pictures - Plane, Entrance Hall, Queues, a couple of brasses I saw. But I was seen. And had to delete them because you can't take 'photos in an airport.
The crew were in the bar, as expected, and pushed rum on me as soon as I arrived. After only eating airline food, and as it was now after midnight UK time, it had the required effect.
It's late now. I'm going to bed.
Goodnight. Thanks for reading. There will be more tomorrow.
