We had to leave Palomares early as we had some technical issues with the business email server (also preventing access to the Caravan Ramblings blog) – our daughter, who was left access to the server room, happened to be away on a training course. There was no alternative but to head back to blighty and brave storm Ciara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This wasn’t the original itinery. The plan was to travel back to Malaga late Sunday afternoon but Network rail posted a timetable cancelling ALL trains on the Sunday. This was later replaced by a alternate timetable but by now, I had already changed plans and would stay at Bristol airport in the evening and travel back early the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Timings worked out really well. The take-off with storm Ciara whipping up gales in excess of 80mph was somewhat scary. I even managed to get back in time for a BBQ hosted by Paul and Andrea, as well as watch the six nations (France v Italy) in a sports bar in downtown Torre del Mar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how it worked out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
