Premier Lounge

Premier Lounge, originally uploaded by nataliej.

We pre-booked a seat in the Premier Lounge at Cape Town departure
lounge before we left the UK. It's fab. Free drinks and snacks,
Internet, wifi, showers. Very swish.

We had a little bit of fun and games at check-in though. We were SO
over our baggage limit! It was comical. In total we were 8kg over and
Scotty definitely didn't get away with taking his 3ft giraffe on the
plane under his arm! Haha, and my rock sculpture definitely could be
classed as a weapon, so that couldn't go as hand luggage.

But the check in lady was really nice and helped us jiggle things
around to somehow get us under. I have no idea what she did but we
managed it and didn't have to pay by excess. Phew!

Anyway, we're through all the checks and just chilling out. Gonna do
some shopping in a bit. Need to stock up on Amarula :)
