06/08/2009 Greece VI: The Journey Home

As I write this, I'm on the plane back to Blighty. Feeling a little tired at the moment, given that I had to wake up at 6:15 to catch the 7:00 bus to Thessaloniki, before the hour long journey to the airport and nearly five hour wait for the flight. But everything has gone without a hitch so far. I've now had a very nice lunch of BA serpentini pasta (someone planned this, I'm sure), wrap and fruitcake, after Mpougatsa in the departure lounge. I like BA; the food is edible, and I've just had a 12 year old Glenlivet Single Malt to sooth my aching nerves and brain. I'm considering actually having a nap now, but we'll be starting to descend soon, and even with alcohol in my system I don't think I'll manage to be sufficiently relaxed to drop off.
