You can't please everybody!

Our journey home on Saturday commenced at the civilised hour of 1.30 p.m. which meant that we had plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast and a stroll into the village centre for some last minute shopping. Of course the down side to this was that we didn't arrive home until about 9 o'clock at night, but the day passed smoothly and even the inevitable queue at check in wasn't too disheartening. The luggage belt broke at one point which halted the check in process temporarily but it got going again fairly quickly. Heather niftily nabbed us a wee table for four in the café after we went through security and we had drinks until it was time to board our slightly delayed plane. 

Just as I was returning from a last minute visit to the toilet I had a last minute encounter with Mr & Mrs P from our hotel, who were heading for their flight which was slightly before ours. Their table in the hotel restaurant was next to us and our ironic private nickname for them was Mr & Mrs Positive because they couldn't find a good thing to say about Madonna di Campiglio! They didn't like the layout of the resort, the quality of the piste maintenance or the lack of nightlife in the village. At first we were rather taken aback by this because we all genuinely thought that it is a truly lovely little village with great skiing, but we ultimately found it quite amusing. I bade Mr & Mrs P a pleasant farewell - some people just cannot be pleased!
