Day 21: Flying home from Madrid
|
|
Early arrival in Madrid (from Santiago)
and then back home via Heathrow.
|
|
|
|
After a peaceful overnight
flight, we arrived in Madrid very early in the morning.
It was even to early to go into the airport lounge, which
we were finally able to do at 6:00am. By 8:30am, we had
taken off on the final leg to Heathrow. |

A somewhat
