On the Road In the Air

Guo Ji, Guo Cuc and Master Jin Rou, from Gold Coast, left Sydney heading for Hamburg, and that means 22 and 3/4 hours in the air to London, and then an hour and a half to Hamburg after meeting a flight in London's Heathrow airport. Our Qantas jet refueled in Singapore but had to wait on the tarmac for two hours and then pick a new route. It seems that if you miss a slot in the highways in the air another scheduled flight will bump you and the airline has to find another slot to book. We had to take on more fuel because we had to fly farther in another sky-route.

So with the two hour delay in Singapore, the layover in Heathrow and such we were in transit for 26 hours before arriving in Hamburg.

After standing around waiting for bags, I discovered that my guitar was not on the plane! Oh joy! Having lost a suitcase on a trip from Calgary last year I was not eager to go through the processs again. Furthermore, Jin Rou Shi's bag was also misplaced.

"Oh, there are problems in Heathrow!" said the Hamburg baggage person. "They've got 11,000 bags separated from their owners waiting to sort out." Oh double joy!
