Keeny to be seeny in Santorini

I awoke this morning worrying unnecessarily about the day ahead. Would it be easy to collect our hire car in Santorini and get from the airport to our accommodation and what would we have for dinner. Jess put my mind at ease by saying we would just deal with whatever came our way. So that helped and I could get on with what we needed to get done before heading off on our travels. This basically consisted of eating the food that would go off if left in the flat and doing a final tidy while getting the final packing done. We were ahead of schedule but we were ready so we just decided to go. We set off to the airport and we made our connections very smoothly and so we got there in much better time than expected, so we were very Orly.
There was not much problem getting through security except for Jess of course who managed to get her usual full body frisk from some old woman at the gates, I think she actually looks forward to it and hides some metal in her pocket before going through. We had time to spare so sat down and had a bit of lunch, but soon enough it was time to board. When everyone was on the plane the pilot announced we were going to be delayed as there had been s bit of an aerial display over Paris due to Bastille Day. He then said that if any children wanted to come and see the cockpit they could and Olivia was very keen and so she went up and was very impressed. Eventually we were able to get on our way and the flight that was about 3 hours passed fairly uneventfully.
It was quite windy on our approach to land but the skipper managed to get us down, although it was a hard landing. It merited a round of applause and most of the passengers obliged. Then we picked up our hire car and drove to our apartment, although we decided not to go the quick way as it is always much more enjoyable to take a few wrong turns on the way. We parked in the village car park then walked the final stretch through a village that could not be more Greek if it had an ouzo fountain and olive trees in the town square. It is a very beautiful setting and we quickly dumped all our bags and headed out for some food. Our first choice was full but our second choice had space and the food and beer was just what the doctor ordered. Jess decided to show off her Greek skills with the waiters who were only too happy to oblige and the girls found it very amusing and teased her about flirting with them. One of the waiters, who was probably about 60-ish or more brought us over a couple of bottles of beer which he said were on him, so I wasn’t going to complain. After dinner we had a bit of a stroll around the village and then came back and sat on the roof of our apartment and looked at the stars and the moon rising over a hill in the distance. It’s fair to say we are all feeling very happy to be back.Læs mere
