Cassino – Day Six

We got up bright and early, paid our bill and checked out of the hotel. We decided not to stop for breakfast to give us plenty of time to arrive at the airport before our scheduled flight.

Cassino – Day Two

The alarm woke us at 4am. We got washed and dressed then drove the short distance to Manchester airport.

Malta – Day Two

Our 3.30 am alarm call allowed us to get to the airport at 5am in time for our 7.05am flight. We encountered a slight hiccup when the in-car SatNav directed us to a blocked road which, too late we remembered had happened last time we flew from Manchester airport. It was four years ago so [...]
