Up at the absurd hour of 04:00 for a shower in a groggy fog. No breakfast and hopped in a taxi to the airport delayed by bridge construction sending the meter on its happy way with the result a staggering 80 Euro taxi fare to Schiphol. Happy my booking on Martinair to Samos was successful. Not speaking Dutch didn’t prevent a successful booking. Martinair is a Dutch charter airline. I suppose we were the only Non-Dutch on the flight. Just my luck as a nasty terrorist looking type subject to a thorough body search to the enjoyment of my family. A spectacle for sure. What incredible shopping at this airport with electronics, food, records and books to name a few items. The departure area resembled a shopping centre more than the usual airport duty free. A smooth three-and-a-half-hour flight with a boxed breakfast. Arrived at the Samos Airport and grabbed a taxi into Vathi to Fotini’s parent’s house. It is great to have returned to Greece but I think all of us are craving a good night’s sleep.
