Travelling Home.

We had quite the wait at Kilimanjaro airport, it's a strange set up, you only got through security once your gate is open. There was one security conveyor belt too which would be unheard of back home.  Once we were through security we found out our plane was delayed, we knew we only had about an hour lay over in Doha airport and its a massive airport so we were slightly worried about getting that one on time. Once on the plane we were settled and had decided on the films we were going to watch, we had lucked out again and had no one next to us until, half way through the flight a guy decided to change seats and sat next to me, I don't get why when all he did was sleep with a blanket over his head, he wouldn't even move out the way for me to go to the toilet. Finally arrived at Doha airport we rushed to out gate which was about a 15 minute walk and we were walking fast! We were trying to multitask by connecting to the wifi to let family know how we were. So very out of breath we reached the gate to find out that flight is also delayed. We weren't too bothered this time because at least we had internet. 

This flight didn't have TV's but we wanted to sleep so didn't mind, we were on the front row so had a nice extra leg room. I managed to sleep for about 3 hours but was disturbed sleep. Soon we were approaching Manchester and I have never been so happy to see the rainy, miserable city more in my life! When we landed I was bombarded with messages off my mum of baked goods and homemade pie she had been making for my return. As we got off the plane and walked through the bridge, I saw a familiar face, my dad was there to greet me, it was so nice to see him, walking at the airport has his perks! A worry of myself and Rachel's was that we wouldn't have our luggage! But it was there, we had no problems and headed out to be given a cuppa by Rachel's mum and a huge hug of John! I was so happy to be home, but couldn't help but feel guilty, I was back to reality, where I have a loving family, boyfriend, amazing friends, constant electricity, hot water and a brilliant education. I would have loved to bring every single children from the orphanage home with me and give them a care free, trouble free life.
