| Friday morning in Jamestown. |
Friday November 30:
Last night we had
dinner at Wellington House and Bishop Dale came to assure us that the
plane was on schedule for today. After a good tuna
steak and rum-and-raisin ice cream, we walked home.
This morning was
a bit warm and up until 10:30am we had a bit of sunshine.
Town is
buzzing with people, reminding me of the little town of Grahamstown
on a Friday, full of energy. The numbers of people are far lower here
but the spirit is the same.
We walked up Main
Street and along the Jamestown harbour and met more people wishing us
well with our flight today. The news is that flight has left Windhoek
on its way here and we hope in the next four hours there are no
dramatic weather changes.
The rest of our
story can be told in photos I took, and from St Helena-related
websites:
 |
| Packed at our hotel and ready to go. |
 |
| To the airport - it's cloudy, but not too windy. |
 |
| St Helena's runway is exposed to what pilots call "wind shear". |
 |
| We're at the airport. |
 |
| The prospects look good. |
 |
| Checking in. |
 |
| Alleluia! The plane has landed. |
We landed at OR after 10 pm tonight... Now back to Cape Town to sort out my disrupted schedule and reconnect with my family.
