Day 14

 The plane took off about 20 minutes late and we went immediately into turbulence 


Because of that, they couldn’t get on with serving the food so when they got the green light they were like greyhounds out of the traps throwing rolls and drinks everywhere 


Here’s the menu




I went for the chicken


I watched Deadpool to see if I could make sense of the Wolverine crossover madness then tried to get some sleep


I reckon I did better than the flight over but not by much


I did, however, still have the fun of watching Joss push all the seat buttons accidentally so not all was lost 


At 9am I decided I’d tried long enough so made the seat sit up, at least I tried to


It only contracted half way, leaving me trapped in the chair


After much huffing and puffing I managed, contortionist like to crawl out of the chair to ask for help


Apparently it’s a common problem as it happened to Joss too - we think it’s because it’s an older plane


There was still time for breakfast




We landed bang on time and apart from security swabbing both me and my bag down for drugs we were swiftly through all the checks and sat in the lounge for about at hour before we could board the plane to Heathrow 


We actually went down a little earlier and I saw the cleaner whizzing around on this - he then disappeared and I desperately wanted a go




I was even more gutted as when he got back he just pressed a button and off he went - it didn’t even have keys !!


We took off about 25 minutes late as they had issues with the luggage


They then put a curtain between us in business and the rest and I thought it was to prevent jealousy from the other passengers re our food but I now believe it was to stop them laughing at what we got…


Here’s what we were promised for our in flight meal and this is what it looked like




The main course was awful - served ice cold ON PURPOSE and with horseradish on everything making it inedible


I really don’t know who they are catering for with these meals


Still, we arrived safely, and being UK residents we sailed through passport control (when Joss worked out how to use the electronic passport checker) and it was only a short walk to the car





Thankfully it was still there and started first time so 90 minutes later we were back home - great holiday but it certainly feels lovely to be back

Day 12

Nothing planned for the morning today so we had as nice a lie in as we could manage before the construction work started As I lay there I could hear a tapping sound What the bloody hell was that?  It went on and on so eventually I got up and found the the air conditioner was dripping water - luckily narrowly missing our souvenirs  When I reported it at reception on the way to breakfast they sent someone who fixed it immediately and then the hotel left some biscuits for us to make up for the inconvenience  It was no bottle of wine but a lovely gesture Also, yesterday when Joss asked for an omelette for breakfast with fried potatoes she was told there was no potato  So today, even though she didn’t ask for potatoes they gave it to her anyway to make up for yesterday  Nice Then we went out as it is market day in Buenos Aires We went to 2 separate markets and there was quite the array of goods on sale We then got a bit tired as it was nearly 28 degrees so we stopped...

Day 13

I woke up thinking maybe it wasn’t my best idea to constantly put my glass up for refills last night….. But at least the builders held off so we had a decent lie in before breakfast which I struggled to eat as I was still full up Then we went back to the room to organise all our bags to ensure that if we lost anything, it wouldn’t be the souvenirs  We had a tiny bit of shopping to do and then we thought we’d have lunch Unfortunately today was the hottest day of the holiday so once the shopping was done, we decided to retreat to the room for a while to stop us feeling like we were melting When we did indeed go for lunch we went back to the place that did the amazing pork baguette It was still amazing but on Joss’ showing, Argentina has beaten her too as she barely touched anything bar the chips We then did a quick search for Patagonia Amber beer so we could have one last drink of our favourite South American tipple before it was back to the room for final showers and bag packing The...

Day 4

So last night we had the air conditioning on and as the temperature dropped overnight for me it started to feel like winter in the uk - under the covers I was boiling but from the neck up I could suffer from frostbite I lasted until 5am before I finally turned it off - needless to say, Joss slept through it all The alarm went off at 7am and we took our time going down for breakfast It was a continental style breakfast with pastries, cereal, meats and cheese which went down a treat as I still hadn’t quite recovered from the steak the night before  We were due a Santiago tour today with a pick up of between 10 and 10:30 They turned up 10 minutes late but that was nothing compared to the other English couple who, according to their paperwork we were almost an hour late I thought this might spoil the day but they were both lovely and so interesting They were a good 10-15 years older than us but had been EVERYWHERE - the guy told us loads of stories of their travels and he wasn’t boasti...
