Back in La Guerche after a day of travelling yesterday - 10 minute walk to the tram from Corstorphine to the airport which is very straightforward and direct. Then a Ryanair flight to Poitiers which was 40 minutes late and one where they made us stand in a packed corridor for 20 minutes before boarding.
Then we headed to the taxi rank for a taxi to the train station to catch our train to Chatellerault. There were no taxis waiting for the flight's arrival and we found out that in fact there never is!
A Romanian couple let us know you had to call a cab and even then you had to keep your fingers crossed that they would arrive! They were kind enough to call for one for us and as we chatted we found out that the lady used to work in the dentists in Ligueil. By the time their taxi arrived another couple had joined what they thought was a queue - we shared our new found information with them. When our taxi had not arrived after 20 minutes there was talk of us perhaps missing our train but they said they were heading to the train station as well to pick up their car before heading up to Montrichard and if we did miss our train they would take us home, how kind are people? Just as our taxi eventually arrived another couple arrived confused and we managed to get our driver to organise one for them.
Our friend Dennis picked us up at Chatellerault for the last part of our journey home.
Ah, Dr. Alina Bott.... a fabulous dentist.... my mouth is a testament to her skill!
