So.... we were on our way to Heathrow and we got a text to say our flight to Nice was cancelled!!!! WHAT!!!!! We were virtually there so we carried on to the airport to see what British Airways were going to do with us. Luckily as we were so early they managed to book us on to a flight to Madrid then on to Nice. No apologies at all for us though which was quite surprising. Instead of being three hours early for our flight and buying water, a meal, magazines and snacks we had 55 minutes to get through security and rush to board our flight, someone was sent to get water and luckily I had some apricots in my bag and a few snacks that we shared between six of us. The food on Iberian Airlines was not great and expensive, it's usually free on British Airways. We got to Madrid and re grouped somewhat, the pilot had made up time so there was now a chance that our hold luggage would make it with us to Nice which had been a big worry to me, I had many years before been to Minsk without my hold luggage, only for a day admittedly but it seemed like longer and no.... Nice is not Minsk but still, I had been worried. Well after some rest and refreshment we had an even smaller plane to Nice than to Madrid but we made it not much later than we would have been in Nice anyway. It was 11pm, Chris and Nathan rushed to the hire car place which closed at midnight and had been another worry, but they picked up our car and we loaded the bags and headed for Agay. It was wonderful to see the old familiar roads as we got closer and closer to our Villa. Usually the caretaker leaves the key for us to get in late but we found the new caretaker had been waiting for us when we arrived about 1am whoops! The youngsters stayed up a while and Nathan went in the pool but I crashed in the air conditioned bedroom desperate for some sleep. Now let the holiday begin!!!!!
