From his last post, I doubt he can lift his head off the pillow let alone travel

Expensive taxi journey if the plane doesnt take them home!

Checked in a few hours ago for departure tomorrow at 15.30 Spanish time. One of the last ones out of here fingers crossed. Cheers

Go by train

from London St Pancras Eurostar and arriving at Benidorm via Paris Nord, Paris Gare De Lyon, Barcelona-Sants and Alicante - Luceros. The journey, including transfers, takes approximately 17h


The homeward leg takes the same time

And the French are cutting back long distance travel. It's not cheap either. A few years back, I looked into UK to Barcelona by train....about £500 return each. When the volcano in Iceland went off, in 2010, a family I know got back as far as Madrid from their holiday in Costa Rica. No chance of trains back home as everything was booked up. They ended up hiring a car, one way, plus a ferry journey through Cherbourg as the tunnel was booked up (and Dover -Calais ferries). Cost them £2500 to get home. Under normal circumstances, getting home by train is a good shout. But we don't live in normal times.

Are you back on home soil now Uncle Bob?

[uncle bob]

I'm back. Thanks. Well that was certainly an experience I'll never forget. Half a day into a holiday and the whole country goes into lockdown. Stuck in our hotel room for days.
At least when it happens here we will be able to cook for ourselves and not live on crisps like many had to

The biggest balls up since Katiypour. Glad to know you're back. Don't knock a crisp sandwich though.

I hope you nicked all the big rolls and brought them back with you. Not long now and they will be currency! Get the jokes coming.

Self isolated now. Got aches and shivering. Ffs

[uncle bob]

Not got a temperature yet and only cough about once every 3 hours

Bit Stupid to have gone really.....especially given Spain's statistics....

Sounds like the mother of all hangovers! Wishing you well for a speedy recovery.
