A day of travelling home...

Today was the day to say goodbye to our new friends and to travel home. This meant a 3-hour bus trip to Milan airport, a 2 hour flight to Manchester and a 3-hour train to Newcastle - so the part of the journey which was the furthest took the shortest time, but that's the way it is with air travel. Happily however every part of the trip was more or less on time so we're now safely home.

There wasn't much time to take photos, but this is a photo taken in Milan airport. We loved the sight of the tiny little girl pulling the family's suitcase. A few moments later her Mum took the suitcase from her which caused a considerable upset as you can imagine! Being a grab shot in poor light, on a phone, the photo isn't of very good quality but I decided that adding an oil-paint filter actually made it look a bit better.
