Every cloud has a silver lining, my existing carrier connection had been missed due to a late take off at Heathrow but we were transferred to South African Airways to complete our journey to Cape Town.
Despite the heavy rain and grey clouds outside we were treated to a warm and sunny welcome from the South African Airways lounge staff at Johannesburg …even though we hadn’t purchased our original ticket from them.
Breakfast was being served and the choices included a range of cereals, cold cuts, pastries, cooked eggs and bacon and of course some steaming hot coffee. A calm and peaceful environment with comfy chairs…what more could we want?
