The One with the In-Laws- P&O Iona Fjords April ‘23.Day 8-Home

[vampiress88]

Alarm set for 6am. We were up and showered and Scott when and got pastries for breakfast. We chilled in the room till 8am then went to sit in the club house for the 8.30am call to leave. It was around 8.50 when they called then took ages to get let out of the club house. We found our bags and queued again. Worst disembarkation from p&o yet. We are going to do the self one next time and leave at 7.30. Then I can keep my blanket and toiletries too.

We were on the road for about 9.45. Later than we usually are. Nanan and grandad had got off at the same time and they needed to book a coach back. Scott drove back, I offered but as I am apparently a bad driver the offer was declined. We had two stops for the toilet (with hubby cursing under his breath as usual)
We managed to get back, top up petrol, go to Asda for milk and all important beer and cooplands for cheese straws for lunch by 1.30.
One load of washing out and we unpacked the rest of the cases. We got the house all tidy, ordered a Chinese and watched the new power ranger film. Couldn’t wait for 9pm when it was acceptable to go to bed.

I enjoyed the fjords cruise. We especially liked olden for the sky lift and would do it again. Glad we made the decision to go even though I don’t like heights. I didn’t think the fjords sights on this one was as good as we last did. I think the way into Hellesylt might be the one I was thinking of that we enjoyed.
We didn’t spend as much money as I thought and I came in under budget. I have lots of Nok left as didn’t spend that much cash which is a little annoying.

Off to the next holiday. Countdown for Florida 36 days! Then I have 6 whole months to wait for the next holiday. I’ve been born into the wrong life, I needed to be rich.
