Christmas 2011 Trip Ends

It's the day where we bid farewell to our 9 days Portugal and Spain trip~ flying back to reality. It's a night flight from Barcelona to Luton airport, suppose to get the 11pm bus back to Nottingham but delayed by the massive queue of the immigration counter.

Flying back home:

Obviously we missed it, and the next one is 1.45 am. Thank God we bought insurance for the previous ticket, so just need to top up the differences for the new bus fare. Most of the shops are closed, and UK is so much colder X_X. Anyway, I can finally use sterling pounds again, spent total of £491 including transport and accommodation in this 9 days.

Luton airport in the midnight:

After 3 hours of bus ride, we're back in Nottingham town and indigo bus came right just in time to pick us back to Dunkirk. Oh home sweet home, for so many days fasting from Facebook, the notification counts aren't too surprising.

Oh yeah~ I'm back:

Hey, there're two big mails for me as I arrive home. I thought it's my ebay purchases, but Christmas comes early, they're wishes from Malaysia, for me... and some other friends. Thank you Wei Ern, Pei Wern and Shen Quang~ but I'm in charge of distributing cards to others in Nottingham as well... haha~ it's good, it's good.

Christmas card from Malaysia and my housemate:

"We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped."
-Psalms 124:7

I am grateful of all the blessings received during the trip. Fasting from internet for 9 days make me read the scripture more and I as they say, the words are alive, I learn new things again. Great experience going new places and eating new foods, and it's time to prepare for working again, gonna pray for strength as I go on, Amen.
