Made it to Wales!

Hurray! We made it to the Lewis homeland on Thursday afternoon. The taxi came at 6am, we got on the train to the airport and had a good flight to Manchester without too much drama in our row of seats.
Here is the Minx being VERY minxie at the airport in Oslo. I had packed her ladybug backpack full of surprises and she was so eager to sit and open it before we got on the plane.Very exciting to be the first ones to board the plane in Oslo
Row 21 DEF
After we reunited with our baggage, we hired a car and drove to north Wales, arriving at ~12:30pm. The kids fell asleep just as we were nearing the end of the 1+ hour drive (of course).
There was a bit of drama NEXT to row 21 though! A man was walking towards the toilet at the back and he collapsed right next to us with his head hitting the floor in a very loud THUNK. Rhodri immediately jumped in to help -- eventually the guy came around (turned out to be an ear infection and low blood pressure) but the paramedics met the plane as soon as we landed. Anyway, Rhodri's help earned the family a free meal courtesy of SAS Airlines!
