Twelve Hours Later

It took half a day to get to Tallinn in Estonia that we are all very tired. The trip in the car was lovely with a little stop for lunch before going to the Airport. Chicken sandwiches all around and a cake for Brunel and Rusty. At Glasgow Airport it was very busy with lots of holiday makers. This was where we had to say goodbye to Rusty as he was too big to go with Mrs Tonner that she had to ask him to go to sleep in the suitcase. Brunel was able to slip into Mrs Tonner's bag and sit beside her on the flight.


When they arrived at Heathrow in London it was hot but there was no sunbathing as Mrs tonner and Brunel could not go outside because they were waiting for there next flight. This was when Mrs Tonner realised she did not have Estonian money and could not get any. After a little panicking she decided to telephone Miss Hulbert who gave her some advice.

Heathrow was even busier than Glasgow and before long it was time to get the next flight to Helsinki. This flight was longer - 3 hours. No good movies and the food was meetballs, one carrot, a tiny bit of broccoli and instant whip potatoes. Dessert was a little piece of chocolate no bigger than a ten pence piece.

Whilst on the flight a lovely man beside Mrs Tonner spotted her gadgets and started talking to her. He worked for Noikia mobile phones and we came up with some exciting things to do.

We arrived in Helsinki about 11pm ready for out last flight to Tallinn. Now all the planes were quite BIG up until now. This plane looked like a toy and did not half creak and rumble about but we lived to tell the tale and are now in our hotel in Tallin with Mrs Tonner on one bed and Raust and Brunel sharing the other. Goodnight.

Dear Mrs Hullbert,

It sounds like you had a bit of an adventure with Brunel. A bit of chocolate no bigger than a ten pence piece? That's a bit harsh! But apart from that, I hope you had a better time than it sounds like!
