So back in the F lounge I grabbed a bit of scran - this time it was the Pork Belly with red cabbage and some potato cube things. Quite nice - I think the pork had been there a while so it didn’t taste that fresh. Nice enough though.

I waited about 20 mins at the Fast Track boarding queue to get back on the plane. I informed the gate agent what I was doing so me diving under the barrier didn’t cause any concerns.

I have only 3 flights to go to complete my massive TP run. Next stop Brussels. I did toy with the idea of missing this out and just heading back to MAN - easy enough to do, but I don’t want to blot my copybook just yet.

I spent about an hour in the lounge at Brussels Airport - it’s an ok lounge but there’s nothing much going on - the views aren’t that great and the food/drink isn’t that good either.

I found my way to the Galleries First Lounge at T5. I had enjoyed my first Starbucks of the trip. Jim is my Starbucks name!

Woke up just after 4am and after some last-minute packing I was ready for my taxi ride to MAN airport (well Vick was taking me). BPs had been printed off, laptop bag was packed, and we would be off very soon. I was starting to get excited…

Shouldn’t be scary this one - I’ve done overseas trips on my own before (well once), and I’ve worn the t-shirt, and watched the video, and read the book etc. No big deal.
