We have landed but in the wrong place!

THURSDAY 12^th

^{Once we airborne the Captain came over the tannoy informing us that he hoped to make up the 2 hours. After an excellent meal we settled down to watch a film from our own entertainment system. We have seating that can be converted into a flat bed which sounds great. But I discovered a problem with the window seats. When the person in the aisle seat converts their seating to flat bed those by the window have to climb over them. The aged gentleman in front informed me he would be making his bed and hoped I would remember in the night. I told him if I fell on him don’t think all his Birthdays and Christmas’ had come at once! He was quick to respond that I would have done it on purpose. Bless him but we had quite a bit of banter throughout our journey. I slept a lot of the time, which is quite unusual for me as I am afraid of missing something. We never did make the time up so when we landed in Bangkok we were met by an airport representative and told we had been booked on flights tomorrow and would be spending the night in an hotel. Again we assumed it would be an airport hotel so it was a pleasant surprise that we were actually in the city. Where we would end up we were not sure as our driver knew the back streets which made us all wonder just where we were going. The hotel ‘Kantary House’ was very nice and we were given a room on the top floor. I say room it was an apartment complete with washing machine. There was no time to use it as we had to be up at 4.45am to leave at 5.30 for the airport. Ken and Liz who we have befriended will not be joining us until the evening flight as this morning flight is full. As it was so early we had been asked if we would have breakfast boxes. We said one would be sufficient at that time of the morning, but management insisted we had two – one for us and one for Reception!}
