Hi All
Well I have arrived I would like to say safe and well but that would not be quite truthful.The flight from London to Amsterdam was quite eventful as we approached Schipol airport we made our descent the young lady sat next to me informed me that she hated flying.Great I thought ..I tried to reassure her as the plane was now only feet from the runway suddenly the engines were thrust forward and we made what I can only describe as a roller coaster ascent.Sorry said the Captain but we have had to abort the landing..we continued our ascent as the whole plane took on a very steep angle.A number of passengers panicked including my new found but could have been short lived friend in the next seat.I looked at her and told her not to worry we would merely be going round the block again before landing.Thank God I was right the plane readjusted itself and we re approached the landing strip with some trepidation.However the plane landed safely and the passengers alighted.My new friend thanked me for my words of comfort and calmness.I said dont mention it...as I hurriedly made my way to the nearest bar with my legs trembling.
Right I thought only another 14 hour non stop flight to Manila ahead..a walk in the park.
It can only get better..how wrong can one man be...more to follow.
