We left the hotel at 06:00 am this morning to go to the airport for our 09:00 am flight to Amsterdam. The boys are still busy checking in, while others are waiting at the boarding gate. All our boys are really tired at this stage - most of them are just quietly sitting, playing on their phones or having a catnap on the chairs outside the boarding gate. There is a general subdued atmosphere in the air. This tour has been exhausting and they are all ready to go home for a few days of well-deserved rest. Unfortunately it is still quite a while before that will happen.
We have a two hour flight to Amsterdam now, and then another seven hour flight to Dubai. We land in Dubai tonight at 24:00 and then we have a ten hour stop-over there. Luckily Emirates have arranged for us to check into a hotel at the airport to shower and get a few hours of sleep before we board our final homeward bound flight to Durban tomorrow at 10:25. We will arrive at Ushaka International Airport tomorrow 15 July at 16:45.
This is the final blog of our 2014 tour. It has been an awesome experience for everyone and the boys have all made wonderful memories, but we are all looking forward to sleeping in our own beds again! See you in Durban!
