Checking Out

Taken at 07:29 just as we leave the hotel room, go down to reception to check out and call for an Uber to take us to the airport.

Fifteen days later we are heading home to Scotland.

Two countries, countless miles covered and 110 miles walked! Lots of marvellous food eaten, met lovely people and enjoyed seeing and experiencing new sights and places! Apart from the shock of being told our flight was cancelled at 9:50 in the night before we flew at 1030 in the morning and then getting a message that my mum had Covid the holiday was fabulous! And bonus, retirement means no dread of going back to work after two weeks away!

The flight went well. We sat next to a lady who comes from Aberdeen but lives in Portugal with her husband. I spoke to her for about an hour and she practically offloaded all her life problems on to me. This happens quite often I must say!

flight landed back on time and usual stupidity by border control not controlling the crowds. They are a joke. But joy of joys my new passport worked in the stupid machines! No cases to pick up so we hot tailed it to stand H just down from the main doors and got on just as the bus was leaving back to the car park.

Home to see the garden has burst into life ! Nice o be home but exhausted.
