Things got worse and the captain told everyone the plane couldn't land at the planned destination and had to divert to somewhere called Ancona.
The Blog has been to many places in Italy and heard of quite a few more but none of these were called Ancona.. The Blog wasn't even sure if Ancona was in Italy.
Anyway whatever people say about Mr O'Leary, and many people say many things most of which seem justified, his plane landed the tour safely and then put on buses to the planned destination.
Wow we're only in the second post and excitement already!
ReplyDeleteI've been to Ancona.........but I guess that doesn't help!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I slept on a beach somewhere around there. I pitched up at 2am after an unusual midnight encounter at a petrol station in the vicinity with a man called 'Notorius'. I was on route to Pescara. I remember falling asleep on the beach only to be rudely awakened by a thunderous express train as the rail tracks were only a few metres away. As it was dark I had no idea there was a railway line next to me...strange days...
ReplyDeleteI shall have to check my travel diary for the details...
