Croatia bound

Today is the day we leave the beautiful city of Barcelona bound for Dubrovnik a coastal city in southern Croatia ,we have heard so much about this lovely country we are here to experience it for ourselves. The 12 days in this Adriatic country should expose us to a new culture of eating and way of life. Packing starts early so as to be ready for the 9.00am taxi pick up , the suitcase size hasn't changed but the contents going in has increased. This problem will dog us until we return home, my theory of pack light travel fast has been has been shot down in Barcelona (thanks Denny) . The day only gets worse with our impending arrival to the cattle class section of our flight to Croatia,with  no free food or free drinks maybe I'll have to suck this very harsh way of crisscrossing the globe and buy some onboard refreshments. With no red wine or cider available on this cheap arse flight we will suffer in silence for this 2 hr flight . More bad news this flight is leaving late because of over crowding in the terminal and not enough people to process all the departures. Vueling air line leaves a lot to be desired, now the crew is tired so they bus in a fresh team to fly to Dubrovnik. I'm well and truly over this and my day from hell is not over yet. Our approach to Dubrovnik airport is a bit tricky account the runway is a bit short and you need to know what you're doing, well let me tell you that Biggles the change over pilot made a fair old mess of the basic how to land a plane in fine weather. As he cut around to line up the runway he was to high to fast and as I said my Hail Marys he gunned the Rolls Royce motors back to full throttle and up we went again. WADDA is starting to sweat just a little by now, Biggles lines up for his second attempt as he cuts the power we find the runway the crowd begins to clap including WADDA. Our Seaview apartment in the old town of Dubrovnik is a cracker, nailed to the side of a cliff with a beautiful view of the Adriatic Sea the 51 steps to reach this Eagles nest are well worth the effort . Time to admire the sunset so see ya.
