Feeling pretty chipper on very little sleep! Airport hotels ate notoriously full of travellers coming and going 24/7. Alas every one of them seems to think it's the middle of the afternoon. Judging byWeiterlesen

Waiting in the Starbucks to meet my travelling group. Just been thoroughly sniffed over by a Police Dog which was a novelty. Nothing to report. Thank goodness. That would kick the trip off well.

I've found my forte. Backpack Meister. No-one will touch these packs whilst I'm in charge. I'm like a spider in a web. One touch of so much as a strap and I'll pounce.
Waiting for the train to León.
