• Packed and Homeward Bound 🇬🇧

    March 24 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We woke up to sunshine this morning which can only mean we are going home today!! After a final lazy breakfast we packed our last few items and locked the cases. We went for a final walk discussing how few clothes we had worn after living in jeans 👖 and shirts 👕 the whole week. Honestly we would have worn more clothes on a naturist holiday 🍃 🤔🤣. We traded our towels in for tokens in order to get our €20 deposit back. As 12 o'clock and check out time approached we stored our suitcases 🧳 🧳 and headed into the My Favourite Club lounge and we watched other holidaymakers packing up their towels and books before .... yes! Once again the heavens opened 🌧 🌦 🌂
    Just an journey later we were stood outside on the wet pavement waiting for the 🚌 to take us back to the airport 🛫
    13:10 we are sat on the bus and after a couple of more pick-ups we are on our way to the airport, arriving 50 minutes later. We had heard about long delays at Tenerife's airport but fortunately these delays had been sorted and just 15 minutes later we were sat drinking coffee and eating a sandwich 🥪 in the departures lounge. By 3pm we had joined the queue to go through passport control and where a jobs worth Spanish "lady" wearing a uniform decided to shout at me for taking a photograph and pointed out the small no photo sign on the white column about 15 yards away. I wish I'd brought my binoculars or a telescope 🔭 with me... I might have seen 👀 it 🤔 😳 then!! Just as soon as we had cleared passport control we went to the departures gate onto the bus 🚌 and by 16:20 we were sat on the aircraft. 40 minutes later we were rolling back and taxiing to the queue for take off. 5 minutes later we were up and away heading home 🏡 arriving in Manchester at 21:35. Bags collected and waiting for our taxi 🚕 to arrive at the pick up spot by 22:40, arriving home 10 minutes before midnight 😴
