At the moment I am sitting in Gatwick Airport waiting for my connection to Paphos, Cyprus. It is interesting the difference in atmosphere between Edinburgh and Gatwick. Edinburgh seems fairly relaxed, with just a few police officers patrolling and small queues to get through the security. Gatwick on the other hand, is patrolled by firearms officers wielding MP5s and massive queues to get through security. As well as the usual security measures such as a clear plastic bags for liquids and the like, they scan your shoes, and swab the occasional laptop. I have no idea what this is supposed to achieve, maybe they were suspicious about my white Macbook’s cocaine habit.
The flight down was nice an smooth, and hopefully the next flight will be too. Already delayed by 25minutes…… :o(
