The Anonymous Widower

Flying To Dubrovnik

I chose the flight leaving at 05:55 on a Sunday morning deliberately, so that I would get another half-day in Dubrovnik.

But it wasn’t the best journey.

• I walked round the corner to get an N38 bus to Victoria at about 0200 and all seemed to be stopping short at Piccadilly Circus.
• Piccadilly Circus was rather strange at two-thirty in the morning and was surprisingly empty.
• In the end, I took a taxi to Victoria.
• Gatwick Expresses don’t run at that time in the morning, but I just managed to catch the 0300 to Gatwick, which is not the fadtest of trains.
• I got into Departures easily, but then had to walk miles through duty-free, where I never buy anything.
• I also forgot to buy my toothpaste and deodorant.
• It was the main terminal and buying a gluten-free breakfast from someone I trust was off menu.

We’ve got no-frills airlines, why not a no-frills airport, which would only have a cafe that does gluten-free food, toilets and a Boots?

After that the flight was uneventful.

This picture shows my first view of the sea off the Dalmastion Coast.

If you want to see what a pilot sees on a typical flight into Dubrovnik, watch this video.

You should be able to recognise the distinctive coastline.
