Our flight back to Faro Portugal was uneventful, just how we like it. I had booked a taxi to Bristol airport 4 days before our flight as we could not get the car out of our garage, It had been stuck there for 10 days due to an abundance of ice and snow.
Guess what? Sods law came into force, the snow cleared on the Saturday, the day before our flight. Still, £55 for a 40 minute taxi ride wasn’t bad, it’s only expensive when you compare the price of a 2,000 mile flight for £66.48 for both of us which included £16 for hold luggage. Is this what the term “economy of scale” means? The taxi also meant my Daughter and her husband Justin didn’t have to recover my car from the airport later that day.
David, who had delivered us to Faro airport from Olhao camp site back in November, was there waiting to take us back to our MH.
We were pleased to have protection from the canvas cover for the MH as a week earlier hailstones as big as ping pong balls had damaged several caravans and a couple of MH’s, no damage to our MH thank goodness.
Monday 18th January. Back west to Luz where little red car was being repaired.
We stayed at the site we enjoyed so much last year. None of the friends we made then were here, felt quite lonely. I collected the car the next day, the repair was good. We settled down for a few days intending to leave at the weekend.
Friday night brought heavy storms overnight, the noise kept us awake most of the night, We packed up Saturday and left Sunday morning for Spain.
