Early evening flight from Newcastle leaves lots of time for leisurely trip via Crook, Durham, Newcastle and the airport ... 4 different buses and four different bus companies ... just over three hours and time for lunch at Dobbies, with Christmas shopping delights on display ... slightly gentler ambience than the portal to another world which is the airport and its own shopping opportunities ... an hour delay increases exposure to frazzling electromagnetic pollution, sensitivity to which perhaps raised, or maybe it's the increased pollution all around, especially in urban settings ... flight a delight with sunset lingering on the horizon for most of the way ... quickly through passport control and baggage reclaim to find city bus waiting ...
Faro Pousada da Juventude located and straight to bed on the top bunk with snorer beneath and lights overhead until late night younger folk settle down ... some adjustment required for sleep, but it comes and early waking leaves an hour before dawn to wander Faro before a cafe is found for cakey breakfast then first bus to Tavira ... which feels like home again ... a warm greeting from Joana, pleased with previous Krisnamurti book and delighted with next one, The Limits of Thought, where two of the greatest thinkers of the age, K and Bohm, explore those limits and what may lay beyond ...
Now for a walk to the beach ....
