Early start. 2am for a 6am flight.

After delay of 30 mins while engineers fixed a fault with the plane we taxied off only to get 100m for the fault to recur and had to taxi back to gate. Lovely flight apart from that.

Arrived safely at the hotel despite a near miss in the car. Someone, the woman looked British, was in the right lane and came into my lane without looking. Karen got very slightly upset but did a really good job of calming herself with the diagphram breathing she had been taught. Well done love!

The hotel was built in 1961 and we think the last time any work was donevto it was 1961!

But the staff are friendly and aside from an ant infestation in the room it does the job. We had researched the hotel before we left and knew to ask for a room in the Annex as it was a lot newer/nicer. Sadly it’s up too many steps so we are sticking with the hotel main building.

First afternoon has just been a sleep catchup.

When kp wakes up we’ll to for a meal. Will add some fotos later in the week.
