Douglas; Friday, 29 June, 2012

A disarmingly smooth journey through the airport with the entire process from getting off the train to leaving the security area being done and dusted in under 10 minutes. Consequently I had a pretty long wait in departures before I could wander down to the gate.

Again, only a short wait before we were called forward for boarding, and bang on time started our take off roll down the runway.

Less than an hour later, and 15 minutes ahead of schedule we touched down on the Isle of Man, and with the luggage popping round in seconds flat I ended up having a 10 minute wait for the bus I thought I was going to miss.

The bus even went to just above the hotel so I had a short downhill walk.

After checking in I had a quick shower and then, with the last of the evenings light fading over the skies of Douglas, turned in for the night.
