Parkside Gardens

All good things come to an end!
Home at last after a lovely last evening at a local taverna recommended by Christos the rooftop barman.
It’s a bit of an effort to get everything back into our bags but Royce is a packing genius.
A light breakfast and we say goodbye to the Acropolis.
Our driver is waiting right on time and we head to the airport. We have upgraded to business for the first leg- second leg was way too expensive. We access the skyserve lounge - it’s sparkly and has nice options for eating. The business class seat is amazingly spacious and the air stewards are greeting us by name and with a very beautiful rose champagne. The food and wine is delicious even though they run out of fish I am not disappointed by the poached lobster entree and the mushroom barley risotto.
We rush to our next gate after seeing if we can wrangle another upgrade - but lines are too long.
It’s a big plane and it takes a while to board and then we wait and wait and then taxi and then wait and the pilot says we have to get off and get in a different plane!
It’s a few hour delay and Royce and I explore the airport. Back on the plane and it’s a bit different from our previous experience however we have extra leg room and preordered vegetarian meals that are quite delicious. No more alcohol for me!
I actually sleep which is very unusual for me and I watch a couple movies.
Our bags are first off and our driver is waiting and it’s a quick ride home.
It’s lovely to be home. What a fabulous adventure we have had. Thanks Royce for being an amazing companion in travel and in life!Read more
