Barcelona continued..
We blew some of the last Euros on a taxi to the airport and with heavy heart we waved goodbye to Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain. The plane took us to Düsseldorf where we had an hour layover before picking up the flight to London. Finally we got to drink real German beer, what a treat to finish the break with. With Martha’s final euros she shouted for the cheesecake, which, although in an airport, was really good. Then it was time to head to the gate. Of course, we had to go and relieve ourselves and so popped into the ladies. Whilst waiting from Martha, I noticed a vending machine on the wall and was quite shocked to see what it sold. There were the obvious, tampons and condoms of course, but other products available were thongs, yeap, knickers! A thing you put on your finger that had knobbly bits covering it (can’t think what that was for) and something I had never seen before in a vending machine…..a mini vibrator…..only in Germany. However, on recounting my story to someone upon my return I was informed that this was not just found in Germany. Martha was extremely disappointed when I pointed the vending machine out, she had spent the last of her euros on the cheesecake, I certainly did not have any cents let alone euro and so the toys stayed in Germany.
We finally landed in London, Heathrow and for the first time ever in my travelling life I had someone in the terminal waiting for me, well it was Keith actually who was waiting for Martha but if made me feel wanted too. Chris was still at his mum’s so when we got home I had to make the tea.
