Our room at the Hotel Med was certainly interesting; it opened onto the street, but the windows, shutters and curtains blocked off most of the external night noises. The internal noises were something else and in the morning, more entertaining than we had expected.
Since our plane did not leave until the afternoon, we checked our luggage and walked to the old city and the busy port. The sun was shining as we passed through the Saturday book market and another popular fruit and veg market, both set up in plazas under umbrellas - very nice. Many photos later, a paddle in the Mediterranean Sea was a most pleasing final touch to our trip. The Airport bus carried us and many others along the front Promenade to the airport and after checking our luggage in to Emirates we had a most relaxed luncheon - duo salmon salad with a glass of rose.
Having taxied to the take off runway, one passenger became very agitated and we returned to the terminal to offload her and her luggage - this took some time, but we had bought a book each and I had my cards; just another traveller's tale!
