Travel Day

With not a little sadness, I said 'bye to Harry at 9am and hauled my case to the bus stop. Travelling on a work day meant bro couldn't take me to Stansted airport, so for the first time, I travelled by public transport, one bus to town centre, then another bus to the airport. It was surprisingly easy and very cheap - a total of £4.- although it did of course take longer than driving directly.

Flight departure was on time and the private transfer taxi driver met me at Izmir airport, consequently, I was home by 21.30 Turkey time.  For reasons I don't need to go in to here, there are health related issues with my apartment so that I cannot, will not, stay there at the present time. Neighbours John and Janice have kindly opened their home to me and I'll be staying with them for a few days until my apartment is habitable.  So, we sat and talked and ate a tasty snack, until around 1am Turkey time when I gratefully fell in to bed, but not before taking a photo from their roof top balcony.
