We were due to all meet at Terminal 5 at 13.45 on Friday afternoon so we could check all our bags in together. We had been asked to not exceed more than 15kg on our baggage allowance so that the emergency and med kit could be checked in as part of our allowance. All went smoothly and we were able to check all our bags in direct to Namibia which bearing in mind we had to change at Frankfurt and change from BA to Air Namibia was good news indeed! My hand luggage was pretty heavy though as I’d put all the school books in my rucksack just to make sure I could get them through OK. I also had a load of tennis balls (thanks Carol) but had put these in my main bag as they were nice and light.
What then followed was a bit of time getting to know the others on our trip whilst we had time waiting time in Heathrow, and then Frankfurt. There were 18 of us in total, with Sid our trip leader and Sian, the Dr bringing us up to a total of 20. The journey consisted of a short hop over to Frankfurt, followed by a 10hr flight down to Windhoek, arriving at 9am in the morning on 3rd. The journey was fairly uneventful with most of us managing a fair amount of sleep, ready for the adventure ahead.
