Another good flight.I am surprised at how spacious it seems up the front of the plane.And an aisle seat.And they open the doors and you are walking off in one minute.Much, much nicer.Only slept for an hour.So it's 11pm Sunday night your time.Feeling really good surprisingly.Found a lovely window seat in a cafe and I am watching planes take off and leave in absolutely brilliant sunshine.Had some pasta.Just relaxing.So 3 hours to go here.Then off to Split.Rathe...

What an amazing place.At first, I did wonder what I had struck ...But it is amazing.First and foremost, the Wifi is down so you may get the words, but pictures will have to wait.Shame really ... they will tell a story.I think the ceiling must be 15 feet high.I just stood up and it is easily 3 times my height.The mirror is a bit high ...
