After a three hour delay and two airplanes with problems, we finally arrived in Freetown around 1:00am. We stopped in Spain to re-fuel because our plane was very heavy (probably due to all the stuff our team brought). The flight was pretty bumpy but we all survived. The BMI crew was interesting. Very different from the nice, pleasant, and happy crew we had on British Airways. For example, I asked one of the crew members on BMI for an ice water. The flight attendant says, "really?" I said "yes, really," he says "you mean water with ice." That was just one of the many things that were said on that leg of the flight.
All of our luggage made it to Africa! :) It was a little chaotic at the airport trying to explain why we were there and to get through customs but we did.
When we finally arrived at the Lungi Airport Hotel (definitely not the Ritz) we had a very late dinner around 1:30am. All we wanted to do is sleep because we were so exhausted but we had to be polite and eat the meal they had prepared for us. Of course, I had to be the one to see the lizard run up the wall of my hotel room, definitely unsettling. We finally got to "bed" around 2:30 and woke up at 6:00am, it was a nice little nap.
