The holiday is almost over – we have to be at the airport around 3pm for our 5pm flight to Luton. We make the most of our remaining time, and are soon down at the local beach armed with our snorkelling gear. The sun is incredibly strong (for November) and the temperature is well into the 20’s centigrade – it’s going to be quite a shock returning to the UK.
We get back to our apartment for 1pm, have showers, pack our cases, have a quick tidy around, load the car and then we are off to the airport.
Lanzarote airport security are much more accepting of my Medtronic card than Luton airport security, and I bypass the scanners without any problem. I’m given a thorough frisking (albeit not as thorough as the one at Luton airport) and we are through to the departure lounge.
Our flight leaves ahead of schedule, and the pilot also manages to take a short cut, so we land at Luton airport half an hour early. Still, it’s 2am by the time we get through our front door. It’s also flipping cold! -2.5 degrees centigrade, and our car is sparkling white in it’s coat of frost.
It’s a real shame that the holiday is over, but it’s such a pleasure to be back in our own bed.
