Well, Spain was fun, as ever \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\t\tWasn’t as warm as I would have liked, but 20 degrees is still better than it was here…<\/p>\n

\t\tNice hotel – even had a balcony – so I stood out on that and watched the traffic going by for a bit while waiting for the restaurant to open for dinner \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\tThis trip was a bit strange really – I was out in Girona only a couple of weeks back to test\/inspect the de-icer there, and then out to Reus (200km south) this week. I flew into Reus for this one, but flew out from Girona. It would have made more sense for Ryanair to fly me to Reus, carry out the test there, then drive to Girona, carry out the test there, then jump on the late flight back to Stansted. Instead, I got a night in the hotel, and a hire car to get to Girona \ud83d\ude42 ugly looking thing though:<\/p>\n

\"Skodia<\/a><\/p>\n

\t\tStill, was nice to drive, and the roads in Spain are well maintained and sign posted, so I didn’t get lost!<\/p>\n

\t\tIt didn’t bother me at all driving on the other side of the road (although changing gear with my right hand instead of the left was initially odd), but it felt weird when I was driving home from Stansted last night being on the left again – maybe I’m destined to live in mainland Europe?<\/p>\n

\t\tI must sing the praises of the pilot from yesterday though – I’ve never experienced such a smooth landing EVER – you just didn’t even feel the wheels touch down, I only realised we were down when the brakes came on…<\/p>\n

\t\tFor once, Stansted border control was empty – another flight got there at the same time as the first ones off (that’ll be me then) from our flight so I was 8th in line and got through in super fast time. Seems they’ve given up looking for similarities between my passport photo and me – I mean, look:<\/p>\n

\t\tOh well, another trip completed – think that brings my flying this year up to about 13000 miles – testing is due in Dublin early next month, so that’ll add another 750 miles if I go, and still not heard about the line station testing due in Jamaica & Mexico…<\/p>\n

\t\tHappy days \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
