We were up at 3.00am. A sad goodbye from the boys to Grandad. On our Atlas Jet tickets it said to arrive 3 hours before the flight. We did and of course the check out wasn’t even open. When it was, we were first in the queue, handed over our passports and told we had a problem and to go to the Atlas jet office. Arriving there of course that had not yet opened. When it did I handed the girl the piece of paper I had been given. The girl wrote something on it and gave it back to me and I returned to check in, now to quite a long queue. I handed the piece of paper to the man and he then spent the next 15 minutes checking us in. From what I gather the boys were entered as students on their system and not children and their system would not allow any changes. Well, Atlasjet in Girne had re-issued tickets and the boys were actually with us! The plane journey was on time. Rhys was waiting for us at Stansted and then the long drive back to Cardiff. Painful, trafic jams all the way and rain. Of course we had originally booked for Heathrow with CTA. Oh so many problems they have caused us.
We eventually arrived in Cardiff and Lou had made a birthday tea for Tariq and also he had another huge birthday cake and his presents.
A very long day!
