Tuesday 5th – Wednesday 6th September – the return to the UK



Tuesday
 I woke up a little early so stretched my legs by walking to the beach knowing that the majority of the day would find me confined to a car seat.
Looks like we've made it back to Spain
More toll roads helped us reach Barcelona in good time. 















We checked in to our hotel and enjoyed one last seaside dinner in the Iguana café on the beach.
Just time to squeeze in one last beach!


The hotel I had booked was somewhat bizarre.  When we arrived we had trouble finding reception and a parking spot.  Mostly because there were strange drapes blocking our way up the ramp to the hotel.  Eventually a member of staff came to our aid.  Having found our room it all suddenly made sense. The mirrored walls, dark wall paper and x-rated TV channels. I had inadvertently booked us some kind of ‘sex hotel’ where people meet for secret love-ins.  The car spaces are hidden and so is the reception so that the staff don’t have to see the clients’ faces! No wonder it seemed strange!
Whatever the basis of the hotel, our room was clean and very comfortable.  We solemnly packed our cases for the return journey to the UK.

Wednesday
All went smoothly waking up and driving the hire car back to Barcelona airport in plenty of time for our flight.  Conveniently, EasyJet fly direct from Barcelona to Southend so having touched down about noon we were back at Simon’s parents’ house in no time.  Time to get on with some post-holiday washing, joy!

There was one good thing about getting back to the UK today.  It meant I could Facetime my nephew Alex so that he could tell me first hand all about how his first day at school went today.
