This trip has been one of rivers

Top to bottom, left to right…

River Charles (Boston), Tagus (Lisbon), Vistula (Krakow), Vltava (Prague), Elbe (Czech/Germany) and Thames (London)

What was supposed to be a 4 country trip became a 7 country trip that included an unplanned flight cancellation and an unplanned hike crossing a country border!

Hats off to British Airways

We were stuck on the ground for 45 minutes. The rains had come into Prague and they were using one runway fewer.

The pilot came on to the PA and first thing he said was that people can get up, stretch and use the restrooms. No problems. And then he invited any young kid to come up and have a look at the cockpit!! Seven kids holding their parents’ fingers went up. It was a heart warming scene. Most of us were so amused waving at the kids that we did not feel the pain of the wait!!
