Goodbye Med Hello Britain
May 2012 After recharging our batteries with a relaxed stay a Sally’s apartment in Southern Spain we decided to take up Moksha crewmate, Phil’s offer to stay at his place at Arnside in the Lake District of the UK for a while. We’d never seen any of the north of England. It was a great option as we still had not found a replacement boat after our crew spots on Astor disappeared. We also really enjoy Phil’s company. He's always good for a laugh. Good craic as he says. April 30 saw us on an Easyjet flight out of Alicante. The discount airlines are incredible. Spain to the UK for 49 Euro each. That’s the good news. At 23 kilograms, each of our duffle bags cost over 100 Euros as check through luggage. Rob argued that as he was 83 kilos and only had to pay 49 for his seat couldn’t we just buy the bags a ticket each and they could strap in beside us in the cabin. Unfortunately without a passport no one is allowed to fly so Mr and Mrs Dufflebag were refused tickets and had to slum it...
