To the very end difficult!
A hotel, a bath, a banana
Calm again before the storm
Unpack military gear - hand back
The warmth of Buenos Aires is in the air(es)
Now the game begins again - remember this is South America - I keep forgetting!
Dear Werner Dafeldecker arranges the taxi - of which the driver is a lunatic - he cannot drive
I demand to find the seat belt which has been well and truly tucked away under the rear seat, as this must surely be his first time out in a car! He does not understand the basic concept of lane markings for some reason
The airport is a swarming mass of humanity - must partly be the Earthquake in Chile
The queue is 400 people long and expanding
An ugly fat bellied man tries to push in and nobody says anything - I go bonkers at him - 'go to the back of the queue sunshine '- at first he pretends not to speak English
He craftily sticks it out and slips just 6 places back - asshole
Now there is engine trouble on my Buenos Aires to Madrid flight which costs me 4 hours and then believe it or not as we were just about to take off at Madrid for London the plane is recalled and escorted by fire engines because of an engine leaking fuel! So I then wait 2 hours to change planes...oh well!
