VoyageurNo problem👍 I am presently on the bus to Porto. I will be happy to be in my hostel tonight🤗
VoyageurOoooh - not being able to get up & stretch - that is challenging! Nice to know when I'm not the only one who finds mornings tough - I avoid them whenever possible. A 3 am shower would drown me I'm sure. Hello to Eleanor - so delighted I got to meet you.
