Well it's the 16th April 2010 and I think that I am not going to be finding my way to Dubai, a shame but there we go. God in his infinite wisdom has provided a volcanic cloud which has enabled me to stay in beautiful Borneo (Brunei). The airline has put us all up in a great hotel, we arrived at 0300 this morning, and I am taking advantage of provided meals and beautiful piano playing in the foyer! Depending on how long we stay here depends upon what I do for the rest of the day. Perhaps another trip is in order or maybe just relax in the cool. Let me tell you how I got back here! The aircraft started off to Dubai and we spent 3 hours in the air and then the pilot decided that he would return to Brunei for our comfort as Dubai had no room for us to land and hotel bookings were full because the European airports were closed. So a six hour flight for nothing, but we are provided for in mysterious ways and it is all part of the big adventure!
The day has been slow and relaxing and I know that I am going to get a good night's sleep tonight as our next update is not until 0700 Brunei time Saturday morning. My aim now is to try and get straight to London. I was offered a flight to Dubai at 1730 this evening but quite honestly Dubai is not worth 3 flight changes and landing at 0230 in the morning. I no longer had guarantees of my hotel booking and I would have to catch a taxi into the city which would have cost me a pretty penny! So it looks like home a couple of days sooner than I expected, but more time to prepare and get myself fit for the next adventure to America in a fortnight's time.
