It Starts at an Airport

Not all adventures start at an airport, but this one does and it is Gatwick North Terminal this time. I'll let you guess the airline. 😄

My adventures in La Palma are night-time based so I'm hoping for clear skies. This means late nights, aka early mornings, and becoming nocturnal for a week. There will be photography too so you can pretty much guess that stars and a galaxy will be involved throughout. The skies are beautifully dark and there are extinct and not so extinct volcanoes here too.

The journey to Gatwick was easy, as was check-in and security and now you don't have to fetch things out of your bags for the scanner. Laptops and everything can be left inside, but you still have to empty your pockets though, and walk through the body scanner with your trousers around your ankles ... belts in the tray please.

The only hiccup was the flight delay, but it wasn't horrendous and didn't affect things for my arrival in La Palma. I still had time for a quick supermarket shop and a meal before the 45 minute drive to my apartment.Read more
