Arriving in Lourdes - Friday

This morning was an extremely early morning with the alarm going off at 3am but himself had packed our bags last night so it was merely shower etc before heading downstairs to find out we were the first to arrive.
Gradually everyone got there although two of the girls were almost left behind (not really) because they were still asleep when it was time to go. Eventually we got to the airport and waited for a 'worker' to check us in - I think that I could have done it faster and that's not even knowing how the system works.
Anyway we are here in Lourdes after a long day on the road and we will gather in our groups shortly before having a meal then bed.
ps I found out the name of my friend - it is Freddie the Bear and he's really nice. He lives in Hobart and Tazzie lives on the NW Coast so we are all well spread out.
The picture today is of me in our room - Mike is a messy person but a good friend
