We awoke early and ate the delicious breakfast the host cooked. We did a lot of walking this day through the old town.

This morning we were packed and ready to go to the airport and home. Glyn ordered a Bolt to get us to the airport with no hassle. Sadly I was unable to see Kiki the cat to say goodbye, but instead met with the cat she fights with.
