Well yesterday we said a fond goodbye to two fantastic holiday families. One Portuguese the other English the weather had been in the low 30's all week with "wall to wall" blue skies and sun.
We then spent the next few hours de-frosting and cleaning fridges, kitchens, bedrooms and of couse the usual 12 washing loads of bedding.
Finally we sat down early evening to have our meal with our daughter Lucy, who was on her last night's holiday with us, whilst awaiting our next visitors who were due in on the evening flight from Stansted to Porto, when our phone rang.
"It's us, we're still here at Stansted airport. The airline has really messed us and about half the rest of the flight passengers. They can't get us out untill Monday but with nine of us they don't know if that will be ok either". Said our next visitor.
They rang back later to say they had finally driven home and were going to try and sort something out on Sunday although though by anybody other than the original airline!
Ken and I are now awaiting a call to give us some good news ie: We're booked on the ??? flight and will be with you soon.

Hi Ken and Sue, and I thought our flight back was bad! After a small delay at Porto - about 30 mins - it would have been much longer without the 'Rhinoair' speedy change round, we were almost swapping seats with the people who were leaving. Upon arriving at Stansted, we then had to wait 40 mins or so for the crew to bring the steps to the plane as there had been industrial action earlier in the day and they were playing catch up.
ReplyDeleteBack home now, not quite rested and relaxed yet but already missing the mountain air - ahh, just remembered the Jeropiga in the suitcase...
