We returned the car to Hertz Stansted - a rather more satisfactory procedure than picking it up! - and had a meal at the airport, then took the courtesy bus to Holiday Inn where we had a fairly good value overnight deal! There were a few football fans around!
Next morning we were back at the terminal and as we worked our way towards the plane (having to yield a jar of horseradish source as a security menace) we realise we were bound for the came place as 200 Rangers fans. It was the Rangers-Barcelona match that night (Some Euro thing - we know nothing - we are not from Barcelona!)
An unforgetable flight! Fortunately short! We had the Northerh Irish contingent all around us! *"What! Ryanair is a Feinon company?") Complete with song sheets, and an immoderate line on Celtic, the Pope and the primacyof the good Queen!
The airport in Girona was awash with more of the 20.000 that attended! We got out and visited Yvette to disconnect her batteries, talc her wipers and swap luggage! Then back to the same hotel to watch the TV commentary on Rangers fans in Barca, have another over-elaborate meal and prepare for a 4.15 taxi!
