Sunday 9th July
Finally, Miss Pinky, Baby B and I took a tour around the area we stayed in.
It was still hot at around 30 degrees ++, but we managed…
We ended up back at the hotel after walking around and a beer… Siesta came by quite quickly!
Had a smoothie for my lunch at the hotel…
The night ended with us taking another walk to digest our food…
The moon looked so pretty coming up from the sea…
End of Day 5.
Monday 10th July
Checking in at the airport was ok, easier than Stansted! Bags were slightly overweight, but that was fine… Going through security wasn’t bad either as Baby B was trapped in the baby area so she couldn’t get out. ^_^
After passing through the shops we wanted to go upstairs to eat at Burger King… Unfortunately there was no lift, so I made the risk with the pram like how MummyGeek used to take me up and down the escalator. You’re not supposed to use the prams on the escalator but if you’re confident just do it! We got there, Baby B was ok, and we queued for a very long time!
Once we got our food, ate and was almost about to go, a German boy came up to us, I was there was enough room for him to pass, but he actually wanted to give his toy away to Baby B… Awww… There must have been some kid connection in the queue, as we were actually queuing behind him and his father…
I took the risk again and took the elevator going back down. Baby B went down backwards… Did a bit of shopping, then found our gate… and we kind of jumped the queue when the announcers said families can go first! ^_^ I like family queues, they have their benefits!
Flight was ok. Baby B managed to sleep on our laps for the whole two hours. She didn’t scream but we did give her, her dummy.
Got off the plane (not as the last passengers thankfully), past passport control, Miss Pinky was shocked at the way they thought Miss Pinky wasn’t the mother… That’s how British passport control is… Got our luggage, waited forever for the pram… and then got our train tickets to Liverpool Street Station – £29 again with the dual pass and Miss Pinky’s travelcard pass.
Just so you know, I hate Liverpool Street Station at rush hour! Then we returned by taxi (plus bus on my way home)…
This is an adventure I won’t forget, but I hope we go to a slightly cooler destination on our next holiday. Hope Miss Pinky and Baby enjoyed their first international flight together. I’ve learnt so much about Baby B in such a small amount of time. Baby B must have been thinking “how comes Godma Geek is with us for so long”… Lol!
End of Day 6 and Holiday!
