3:30am And Our Journey Begins
Considering we’d only had around 2hrs sleep we were wideawake on the way to the airport! Our flight was due out at 6am, so we made it to Ringway (that’s Manchester Airport for none-locals) by 4am. Naively we thought we’d have time in the airport for those last minute essentials like…. an English/Spanish phrase book LOL. But ofcourse, with all the crazy security measures in place these days we only just made it to the plane on time. The first flight toook us to Paris where we changed planes, again a huge queue and then running all the way for our connection with our shoes in one hand and our permitted ‘tiny bags’ in the other – sheer madness with the whole shoe X-ray malarky LOL. One flight down… 3 to go…
