Thursday 27 April
A last lazy morning onboard was enjoyed by all. Mate cooked a delicious lunch of fresh hake on a base of pearl barley mixed with roasted aubergine and tomatoes, while conversation ranged from the students’ plans and prospects to the forthcoming general election. My crew accompanied the visitors back to the coach stop where they would pick up a transfer to the airport: Aircoach is very straightforward and not too expensive. A light dose of retail therapy was the next order of the day, to distract from any goodbye blues you understand, before coming home to a light supper, and reflections on a most enjoyable weekend.
