It was stressful enough knowing that the lift , which has been out for 13 days, wouldn't be in use on the day I head to the airport (Thursday). A text from Qantas topped that!!
The message QF1 to London cancelled!!
Next message - we have changed your flight to Saturday!! Two days away - no way!! I'm going to meet Jake and John in Liverpool on Friday!
Finally, after being on hold for a long time and being passed around, I was finally booked on Emirates to Dubai, then BA to London, arriving 8 hours later than the original flight.
I did tell a fib and said I was on a cruise on Saturday and was Qantas going to pay me for my missed cruise!
Flight to Dubai was good. It was then a rather complicated trip around the airport to get my boarding pass for the BA flight - luckily, I had 3.5 hours lay over. Arrived late into London. - looks like the flight took a longer route around the Middle East after the 'troubles' in Qatar.
Managed to get a train and eventually arrived in Liverpool at 8pm to be greeted by Jake and John.
Saturday morning we were on a walking tour around Liverpool at the same time trying to dodge the showers! It's cooler than I expected! Where's the Indian summer? We heard about all the diverse happenings of Liverpool during the years. Obviously music is one of its main claim to fame, although an awful lot of films have been made there.
Our walk ended at the museum so we had a cuppa and then checked out the upper floor devoted to music especially the Beatles.
We are now at Jake's.
