Friday 12 December

I had been rebooked on the 8.40 am plane from Stornoway to Inverness, so I had to be at the airport an hour beforehand. After saying goodbye, I went to the airport by taxi, and this time, there were no problems. The plane took off on time, and landed at Inverness just after sunrise. Had to wait a couple of hours for the connecting flight to Amsterdam, which was half an hour late leaving. A heavy shower of snow covered the plane, meaning that it had to be de-iced. Arrived in Amsterdam at 3.15 local time, and was at my father's house by 6pm.
