All packed and dressed ready for our final breakfast on board. Breakfast today was brought to you through the medium of show tunes, much to the annoyance of Toni and mum as Sam and I drive them insane!
We then had to sit around twiddling our thumbs for 30 minutes waiting for our coach to arrive to take us to the airport.
A quick coach ride later and then we were in a long queue to check in. Luckily they opened the desk early. I am tired of airport security though. I swear to god I could walk through naked and still set the alarms off! At least I got to keep my shoes on this time LOL
Once we were through security we picked up a few goodies in the shops and then headed for coffee. Toni got stupidly excited as the coffee shop had a large range of gluten free snacks which we bought a nice selection of:
Next stop was passport control and a little duty free shopping. If anyone is wondering what to buy me for Xmas.....
Boarding was quick and painless although we did have to eject a man from one of our seats. We took off a little later than planned as we had quite a long wait on the runway.
The view not long after take off:
Ironically it was true.....
The overall view was less interesting on the way back but pretty nonetheless:
It was a very smooth flight and we landed safely at 12:44 and then had a long old wait at baggage reclaim. All bags present and correct we then got the bus to the car park to collect our car.
This warranted photography while we were there, SO funny!
...... and so we drove back to Mottingham from Gatwick and our holiday was officially over. It has been a totally amazing week and was great to get away and completely forget about everything for once and just focus on relaxing and having fun! En route the hunger came upon us so we deviated to the O2 and enjoyed a huge Garfunkels feast!
Once back at Toni's I had the unexpected joy of having to do some under the sink plumbing! Still, I'm sure it will be worth it :o)
Needless to say everyone wishes it wasn't over but we did all had an amazing time and are now completely knackered.
Next job, sorting out 1000+ photos to share with you all (over the next couple of days)!
