Day 14 Greece near Kavala Airport

Here I am paying a small penalty for missing a pre-booked night’s accommodation. I remember during my early stages of planning, I intended to have some slack in my itinerary. However as I delved more into key destinations and activities, I found myself wanting to pre-book accommodation. In the end I pretty much booked everything. Well so I thought. Missed this little transit stop overnight. Managed a fix and now back on track. Where I am now is out in the burbs - but reasonably close to the airport. Because the airport is quite small and 28km from Kavala - it’s relatively expensive by taxi. So my strategy was not to return to Kavala - but to stay close to the airport - spend most of the day relaxing - or walking in readiness to get to the airport tonight for my 9:45pm flight to Athens. Then I catch another later flight (sleeping rough at Athens airport) to arrive in Dubrovnik early Sunday morning.

I’ve just caught up on the news about Nepal. Wow that’s so bad. Incredibly distressing seeing the damage that so much water falling at such a velocity can cause. Massive losses. Very sad for everyone.Read more
