Waiting now after putting pack , all neatly enclosed in a special bag, onto the loading trolley . Strangely quiet in this lounge , probably because it’s 9.30 on a Sunday night night and people headed to security and gate

Yes here they are .Just been through security . Once again checked. Do I look suspicious ? Maybe it’s those multi pocketed baggy walking pants .

Am off line at the moment as Doug has cleverly inserted our Spanish sim cards( maybe not so clever as we’ll discover they have run out when we use them in Madrid ) ? Anyway it seems like the writing is ok , not the photos

Ha Have just checked onto the airport wifi and here it is . First blog on trip ,half hour before boarding .
