So you all thought this blog was finished. Oh I wish it had been but I had to tell you about our little homeward bound adventure. We went to bed at 11pm last night and set the alarms for 4am so that we could leave, spend 4 hours travelling down to the airport with a couple of coffee stops and get to the airport for our 9.20 check-in ready for departure to England at 11.20am. We awoke with bleary eyes and left the kids in bed whilst we finished packing the bags and got ourselves ready. I was just sitting down finishing my cup of coffee 10 minutes before our minibus arrived. I asked Yuliya what time would we be getting into manchester. She said about 12.20 as we were flying at 11.20 Belarusian time. She went to her handbag to double check and all she said was "what the f***??!!". The look of panic in her eyes was palpable. I knew she had f***ed up big time. All I said to her was " how late are we?". She informed me that we were taking off at 9am. The check-in, which was 4 hours drive away, started at 7am in 2 1/2 hours time.
To cut a long story short we managed to get their at 8am after speeding across Belarus and not not stopping at all. We kept the kids asleep for most and kept the drivers fed and watered throughout. I am just thankful we made it cause it would have put a dampens on the last day but at least we would have seen a couple more days of Belarus. I am now sat on the plane at a few thousand feet after having a run through customs, duty free and boarding with minutes to spare. Poca poca Belarus see you in 2 years.
