Flight Description
Day Two
Our pilot was back with us today, but unfortunately we started flying to Old Town and only realised when we were half way there that we had a gas leak.
We tried to fly somewhere else but we had to make an emergency flight back to Morob. We didn't even have a good departure because we had strong headwinds. I'm very afraid that we have polluted the sea. Tom is threatening to kill himself, but I told him not to because I don't want to fly the plane. Mind you, I did OK yesterday.
At the moment Blue Sky is being repaired at Wha Ching, a garage for planes in the airport. We were thinking of going shopping but decided to go to a beach near the hotel and Tom and Kjirsty are down there now. We can't go swimming or sunbathe because it is very windy, but I love the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.
Later on we are going to a restaurant called Ping Ya Cho Cha - that means Food for the Weird in English! As long as they don't have the cross between the parrot and pigeon thing again it'll be all right.
Oh great - it's started raining so Kjirsty and Tom will probably be coming back soon. A pity, I thought we could be spending the time we have free doing fun stuff. Might as well get the good old dot-to-dot book out. Hope we'll be able to fly tomorrow.
