"Early morning airport arrival (0100) left us with needing a local hotel. Shuttle not running so had to queue 30 mins for a taxi Planes start at 0600 so short sleep but perfect for what we needed at the time Breakfast nice but cold eggs and bacon not my thing but needed the protein and was at the end of the breakfast period"
