| Ascension Island |
Having left the Falklands on a bitterly cold and wet autumnal night it was surreal to arrive in Ascension seven and a half hours later to bright blue skies, silver blue sea and wall to wall sunshine. Even through the aircraft window you could feel the heat. This was a very quick snap as the aircraft descended quite quickly, so you can’t really see how green and lush the foliage is on the mountains. Our stopover didn’t seem that long, but long enough for everyone to start undressing. I peeled of a waterproof jacket, a windproof jacket and a fleece (it really was cold when I left!) to a t-shirt but could feel my skin puckering in the heat!!
