Epilogue, Vienna to Home

Well, the flight was a little late taking off but not too bad arriving LHR.  The surprise was that it was T3. This meant that there was quite a transfer for us to T5.  We had to wait before getting into the lounge, but we got in after 15 mins and grabbed a free lunch before heading to gate.  And so we arrived in Aberdeen, in pouring rain. Unfortunately the bikes and bag didn't!! It has to be said we were more than a little miffed about this, and it took a while to report the missing items and get them registered. More concerning was that BA recognised that one bag hasn't made it, but had no info on the other 2 (presumably the bikes). Were they still in Vienna?  We got a lift home with Duncan and Brenda (thanks guys for waiting so patiently) and the following morning our worries evaporated as a courier turned up at the front door with all the missing items. Phew! I guess they didn't make the T3-T5 transfer.  So now the holiday is over and there's catch-up to play.  Bikes are unwrapped and awaiting cleaning and servicing (& fixing Anne's gears!). Only apparent damage on the return flight is the broken pinger on Anne's bell. I can live with that.

Total distance: 740 miles.
