Well, we've been here since 5th Oct and now have to return! albeit briefly. It's going to be a shock! from 29o today to 2o !!! brrrrrrr! (see the sea monster testing the temperature!)We get the 7am flight from Chania to Athens then pick up the London flight at 9am getting in - with the time difference - at 11pm at LHR then RailAir to Reading. I expected it to be more expensive being schedule flights, but it was only £226 incl. taxes for us both! Whether we'll do as well getting back, nearer Christmas, remains to be seen.
Thankfully it's only for a few days - I've got a scan booked for Monday (29th) and I'm seeing the Consultant on Wednesday (1st) for the results - a bit watch this space!! if I'm clear I hope it will be "See you next year!" - if not!! - don't start any serials!
The house is progressing - s l o w l y - so we'll have to return when we complete - would packing now be bad luck? surely a bit of chucking out can't hurt?!
We're booked for Christmas day lunch at 'Spirit in the Sky' an English eatery at Drapanos, up in the hills, so we're committed to returning - we've even got the crackers!
We've met some nice people here - there's a big ex-pat Brit community where we are. Had a meal in one of the local tavernas on Wednesday evening - which was full, not bad for mid-week! - ALL Brits!
We won't get to see you on this trip - flying visit - but will see you in the new year - by the way - has anyone experience of driving in southern France / northern Italy in Jan/Feb - is it viable?
I'm just going to put out another 10 layers to put on in the morning before going to the airport!!!
