Day 16, Back in Blighty

Flight was ok, for me at least. Catherine had the large 'lady' behind sticking her knees in the back of her seat and the one in front reclining her seat. Not to mention the guy next to her (I don't do strangers) seemingly unable to keep in the confines of his seat. The woman behind also had her seat fully reclined, so a young woman behind her, nearly had her nose pressed against the tv screen. Some people just don't give a shit about anyone else. Catherine whacked her seat back, to give the woman a taste of her own medicine.

Watching a couple of films helped pass the time between dinner and breakfast. It's not easy to sleep, with babies crying, so I grabbed a few winks whilst I could. We were welcomed back into Gatwick just before 5am, with a most unhealthy 27 degree temperature swing! Roasting in Barbados, to freezing in Surrey.

For some reason, baggage reclaim decided to put our cases onto two carousels! You can guess what happened, mine on one, Catherine's on the other. If only I had the eyes of a chameleon 😒

Eventually I retrieved both cases and we made our way to the car park bus pick up. The drive back from the car park was pretty quiet and we were back home by about 07:30. We pretty much went straight to bed and slept until lunchtime. I then took Catherine home and came back to unpack, upload photos, catch up with emails, etc, etc.

I shall be updating those blogs that didn't have any photos included. Unless I had my phone with me, which I didn't on a lot of days, then I didn't have any photos to hand. Now I have uploaded from my camera, I can add some, so if you can be bothered, take a look back through and see what I've added.

That concludes this particular adventure, during which we went; diving, under the waves in a submarine, swimming with Stingrays, on a train, and into a volcano crater. We both had a fabulous time and met some nice interesting people, both on board and ashore, plus one not so nice. All in all it was a great way to celebrate turning 60.

Thanks for taking the trouble to follow the blog and don't forget, comments are always welcomed.... well nearly always 😃
