He is on his way home….

9 days so far, number 10 tomorrow when he finally gets back.

He left Cape Town almost two hours ago and has a further 10 hours before he is getting off the plane in Frankfurt, 2 hours later he will be heading over to Birmingham International. It is a LONG way – 6100 miles according to Apple….

We have had more comms from the AirTag we placed in his bag than we have him, so we hope that he has had a terrific time and taken in all of the experience in full.

We are clearly hoping that we hear a LOT more about that experience than we do the lack of internet while he has been away…..

Long journey but a good first day it seems

Elliot arrived in Cape Town, 24 hours after leaving the house. They are only 1 hour ahead of us in the UK, so the big flight was essentially through the night (almost 11 hours).

Rather frustratingly, he was awarded a centre seat with little legroom so apparently did not get a great deal of sleep. That and the fact that they went straight into a South African rugby training session was a winner 🙂

Anyway, says he has had a great first day and managed to get a little sunburn on his neck – dipstick
