Arriving in Durban

We arrived in Durban Thursday at almost exactly 10am.  Our 11 hour flight from London to Johannesburg went exceptionally well.  D was asleep in her seat before the wheels left the ground and slept for a majority of the flight.  She enjoyed watching a little “Frozen” on her own television but other than that was content to lay across the seats and sleep.  Doesn’t work so well for the big people!  Needless to say we are all looking forward to sleeping lying down tonight!

We transferred easily to our domestic flight to Durban in Johannesburg basically walking off one plane and then boarding the next.  Upon arriving in Durban we realized that our luggage did not arrive with the same ease.  After talking to a BA agent they did have our bags available for us by the end of the day.  It just meant an extra trip for the boys to practice driving on the wrong side of the road back to the airport to pick them up.

We are at a B and B in Durban for the night.  We enjoyed a nice cup of coffee sitting in the outdoors which we truly appreciated after being in airport transit for so many days.  D took a little dip in the pool which is a little cold to her standard but won’t hinder her usage.  We are hoping to all be in bed early tonight as we will be travelling over 4 hours by van to Matatiele the area where Z’s orphanage is located.
