Day 47 Home today
We arrived home today at 5.15 am.
It was an uneventful and reasonably comfortable flight. It will be interesting to see if "jet lag" gets us this time around.
It has been a terrific time with wonderful people and magnificent sights. Fritz made it home to find his place comfortably next to Paddington Bear - picked up during the last trip to London and the Nick Walker tour.
The one regret we did have is not packing the binoculars - note to self start a check list and don't rely on memory.
Most frustrating was internet access - while it is more freely available in Europe and we had signal but we had a lot of difficulty actually getting on - hence some of the delays in updating the blog.
Now we are looking forward to the next big adventure - and the simple pleasure that comes from driving old cars and the sometimes crazy people who own them.
As a footnote: we covered nearly 3000 miles (~ 5000 kms) in these old cars with not too many issues to note. Mike and Ruth took out the "golden spanner" award for the corroded core plug while in the Tarn but even this was fixed quite quickly by a local garage ...I think Mike is convinced by his own advice to others and only using steel core plugs!!
Welcome home!
