Back to Beez
  We leave the
bus, very amusing to see the football team
advertised on the door................ at 01:30 local time and Sammie (our taxi
driver) is waiting with his friend. One headlight as we now call him, took all
the luggage as we piled in with Sammie for the twenty minute ride back to Beez.
 We wiggle the cases through the props
between Beez and her neighbour to find no ladder (despite emailing to ask one be
in position). Kindly, Sammie took Bear back to the night guard who brought Bear
back on his moped and went off in search. First, he brought back one so long
that the London Fire Brigade would have been proud of but too long for our need,
just up to the stern platform. Then our trusty little friend brought a step
ladder which suited us just fine. The plan had been to winch all the cases up
into the cockpit and then open the doors. No, I simply couldn’t wait. All bus
journey I been fretting that Beez would have creatures, smells or worse, as we
have never left her so long. Bear understood, so the bags
were left on the ground (random bucket in picture.........) and up we
went. Sliding door slid. Torch shone in..................nothing, all was well.
An hour later all cases in the cockpit, I had done a CSI type search and relief
flooded over us. Good to be ‘HOME’. Neither of us had put pressure on the other
all the time we were away. We had forced ourselves to visit the UK for an
extended period to give us time to re-evaluate, check our Bucket List, our
commitment to Beez Neez. Well, here we are, and YES, we feel totally at home.
From now on though we can visit family and friends for three months each year.
Brilliant.
 Within minutes, the kettle was on and
the first case was being unpacked. Bed made, showers,
could I settle, no. My body thought it was ten in the evening, my watch told me
five in the morning – the next day. Oh well, it will take a few days to get body
clocks straight methinks.
ALL IN ALL TOTAL RELIEF AFTER
OUR TWENTY SIX HOUR DOOR TO DOOR JOURNEY
GREAT TO BE HOME ONCE
