Thanks to the landlord of the Syntagma contemporary apartment, we could postpone our checkout time and could have a more relaxed day.
We spent the morning packing and then went for lunch around the corner. After that, we took our luggages and started our trip. We decided to go to the airport by metro, but it took us nearly 1 hour to get moving. First, queuing to find out that kids do not need a ticket, then going down to the wrong elevator, looking for the right elevator.. in the park end, all went smoothly, we did not have to queue anywhere in the Athens International airport and could smoothly board the AirEuropa plane Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, the most modern we have ever flown with. Although the flight was supposed to be nearly 4 hours, the time went really fast as kids (and their parents) were busy with the entertainment system! Also the flight arrived ahead of schedule, an extra bonus. The only disappointment was that there was nearly no food available on the plane. Luckily, we had got a couple of sandwiches at the airport. Yet nothing Elijas-safe, so the dinner for Elijas was crackers, Spanish ham and sausage snacks 💪

We landed in Madrid at around 22.00 and it was 34 degrees Celsius. We quickly got our shuttle to hotel where, after a couple of hours of fun, we managed to force the kids to go to bed. We slept quite well thanks to the air conditioning on all night long!Read more
