Only me and cammy made it back out after the après ski but it was only for a quiet hour or so , an early rise and packing to do plus we hadn't paid to get the apartment cleaned because it was €170 and we knew we could do it quickly and easily ourselves , so we had the apartment to clean before our inspection at 0945 , the inspection went ok and the 6adults and two babies bags and equipment were ferried to the lift to join the bundles of other people's stuff left along the hotel hallway looks like Saturday's change around day for the hotel ,Ali and Allison went along for some sandwiches for the road while we waited around with the cases, Bob went for his car and we helped him pack his stuff in and were just about to say our goodbyes when Alistair noticed his backpack was gone ! Bob never had it in his luggage and it wasn't with the main bundle still in the hotel hall , some other group must have lifted it ! It was his hand luggage bag and I was mostly concerned at first that it had his passport and the flight tickets , but I had the flight tickets and Ali had his passport in his pocket thankfully ,But unfortunately his tablet was in his bag though and unlocked so he is concerned about all his internet details , It was a 2hr bus journey to the airport and the worse part of it was Ali had our sandwiches in the lost bag !we were starving by the time we got to the airport , Ali had tried sending himself a message to his tablet so that whoever had it could open it in the off chance they may be at Grenoble airport and we tried lost property's with no joy , There was some cars with Slovakian plates loading theire luggage at the same time as bob and Ali's bag could be on its way to Slovakia , we had an airport restaurant dinner and a few hours sitting around before our flight, it's a tiny airport Grenoble and very busy for the ski season but thankfully no delays for us , untill we were on the flight because of baggage issues and the wings requiring a de-icing we were 25mins late taking off ,it's a two hour flight Grenoble to Edinburgh we took off in the snow and it was snowing in Edinburgh when we landed , the baggage took ages but Brian macateer timed it perfectly at the drop off point in the big 8seater , when we dropped Ali off we got stuck at the end of his street trying to turn the van it's an automatic and doesn't drive well in the snow ,
A photo of grangemouth from polmont on our first night home , another great ski holiday unfortunately finished I am putting this update months later I forgot I had left it as a draught Alistair never ever got that bag back or his tablet I hope the thieves enjoyed our sandwiches NOT ,
but the whole group are all excited already for next year, its June now and we are all starting to make plans looks like it could be val de ser this time stay tuned
