British Air flight to Faro. BA not what it was, although the plane itself is not as dilapidated as many of the old ones were. Discounter service, though. Bring your own sandwiches (as we do) or buy M&S ones at slightly more than store prices. Ditto drinks. Did hear the stewardess offer to bring the man behind us a glass of tap water - from what tap? - but maybe he offered to pass out.
Shuttle bus driver is summoned by the agent when we reach the Greenbus agent’s desk, and we’re the only passengers, so pretty well a private service. Large sign facing us in the back seat calls our attention to the fact that our fare did not include tips. Contrary to the information online, but, to be fair, considering we paid the Spanish company £12 for door to door service on a 27 km trip, it’s hard to see how it could have done, so no objection from us. Delighted to find that our UK sim in the old Nokia works perfectly and the charge from the UK provider is the same anywhere in the EU. And after Brexit?
Déborah turns up in response to my phone call and lets us in the flat. One bedroom, and a kitchen cum sitting room with balcony. Newly equipped, tile floors, good wifi - we’re happy. A bottle of local wine and biscuits waiting for us on the table, so we grill some cheese sandwiches for supper and call it a night. (Comfortable double bed).
