Some might say it was the adrenaline for the day’s journey but it was in fact mostly to get into the magnificent shower / wet room for one last time
We’d packed the room by 5, packed the kids’ room by 5:10 and was checked out and waiting in the lobby by 5:20 - perfect
The taxi driver was on time and although he did struggle to get the bags in the car we left on time
It took us over 90 minutes to get from the airport to the hotel - he did the reverse journey in 45 - well, we have missed rush hour I guess
We breakfasted at the airport waiting for the baggage drop off zone to enter and then made it successfully through passport control / security
We looked at the shops for a while then settled down to wait for the plane to board
That happened on time and yet again my seat did not line up with everyone else’s but the bonus was no one was sitting next to me so I could spread out a bit
The journey was fine for me but joss was left rather distressed after not once but twice walking in on a Korean man, cock out, in the loos after they had failed to recognise the importance of locking the door
I had no such “luck” with the Korean women
Another Burger King at Helsinki killed the waiting time for the next flight and we were off to Blighty - but not before joss had phoned ahead to book a taxi to take us back to where the car was parked
We paid the extra to get someone waiting for us with our name in lights as we arrived
Our only tense moment was that our 4th bag took so long to come out - a time made more tense by the fact it contained all of Hattie’s books and dvds- gulp
By now I was starting to feel tired so was almost grateful that the m25 and the start of the m3 was so busy but that soon cleared up so I resorted to singing really loudly to my playlist to keep me awake
Joss joined in but both Hattie and Kieren passed out in the back of the car - I can’t remember the last time that had happened
Via the chippy, we got home about 20:15 - having been up for 24 hours
It was a brilliant holiday - but now it’s time to catch up on some sleep 💤
