Fortunately unlike the previous morning, this morning was off to a
dry start, as most of the tents were down, and the Mess tent/dining
shelter were available to use for sleeping accommodation, ( however some
of the Scouts chose to sleep outside )
The remaining tents were soon cleared away, and any excess bagage as well as the tents were loaded in the van.
Soon
it was time to say goodbye to Zharki Scouts from Russia, with who we
had been camping with, and Eccleshall who also left around the same
time.
This left just Melbourne, who then proceeded to the main
subcamp tent, where we helped put tables away onto the pallete/racks,
and with a bit of clearing up in the subcamp main area ( lighthouse ally
)
Soon it was time for us to go as well, so we picked up outr
bags, and headed for one last time to Gate B, then onto the bus to
Schiphol.
After getting the Scouts and Dave through the electronic
check in ( that refused to read passports on cases/covers or with
anything else inside ( ie EHIC cards) we then went on to departures and
a brief stop at Mc Donalds followed by a wait in the departure lounge,
where the scouts had the chance to go to the shops inside the departure
area, or just fall asleep for a while on the seats.
Before long we were soon on board the aircraft, and heading home.
After
gettign off the aircraft we then endured the painfully slow process of
passport control at Birmingham Airport, beofre baggage claim, then out
and onto a minibus back to Melbourne.
More tomorrow....
