ARRIVED HOME SAFELY

Jim developed a chest cold and on July 31st,  we decided to change our.flight home to August 2nd.  We were able to get a red eye  flight arriving at 6 am Saturday  morning. 

Good that we make the decision as by the time of the flight we both had colds .  So glad we made the decision .  It has  been good to be home. 

Wonderful trip with fantasic memories.  Thanks for sharing our adventure.

Day 17. Day Off

Mr Jim woke up with a cold this morning.  Too many handrails he thinks.  But have put us both on a thrufu regime  and Jim stayed in bed all day wearing a facemask.   I played lots of solitaire cards. 

Based on the fact that due to better than perfect weather, we have completed all of our planned adventures.   We called the airlines and moved our scheduled departure up a few days and will now arrive home early Saturday morning.  We have a non-stop 5 hour flight that arrives at 6 am.  I think they call it the red eye!

But will be good to be home.  Hoping Jim is better tomorrow and if so we'll do a Red Trolley tour of the city in the afternoon  before leaving.  I'll do a wrap up entry when we get home.

We are staying in a private room in a Hostel and have met many wonderful travelers... most carrying large backpacks.  People from Portugal, Spain, Austrilia, England. Ireland and more.  So much fun to find out their stories.  They have two dorm rooms and many private rooms, three stories.   Huge kitchen, great and reasonably  priced laundry area and lovely owners who work on site.  Each floor has two individual bathrooms that everyone shares.
