So we checked out of our AirBnB first thing Monday morning, and headed for York train station, thanks for the lift Dad.
A Trans Pennine Express via Manchester to visit friends and family in the northwest.
Lots of food, drink and good times catching up! Had a few walks in Cheshire, Chester and Widnes.
After a lift to Manchester airport, security was not as bad as we feared, about 1 1/4 hrs to get through. But then the delays started with our Ryanair flight to Zagreb.. a late arrival of the incoming plane, then there appeared to be nobody at the airport to deal with the plane stairs or the luggage, so in the end we arrived in Zagreb 3 hrs & 39minutes late. Ryanair even emailed me to confirm the delay ! The only plus should be Euro800 compensation for a £34 flight !!!
Due to the delay, we got a taxi to the hostel rather than the bus, a luxury. And yes you did read that correctly a hostel ! We do have a double ensuite room for £30 a night and it’s better than some hotels we have stayed in.
