Heading home for a curry
Day Eight – Tuesday, 18 July
We are heading home today after a wonderful week. I think we are both ready to go back. We came for a rest and to spend time near the sea and we achieved all we wanted. Tom has had a good break.
We had great accommodation and overall the holiday was a great success. I would award it 4*.
Up early, packed and out by 09:30 and off to the White Rocks Beach. It's lovely that early with loads of old Greek blokes taking an early morning swim. The water was cold, but it didn't take us long to get used to it and we had a great hour splashing round.
We should have waited for the First Choice bus at 11:00, but because we were self-drive, we made our own way to the airport - hence the early morning swim.
From the beach we headed south of the airport to a taverna Dum Spiros where we had an early lunch.
By the time we got to the airport it was 12:10 and the Luton passengers had been sent through, so we were taken to the head of the queue and had checked in in five minutes.
Nice to think that we were chilling over a meal while the others were queuing. And we got seats together. All in all a painless check in and good flight, although Tom didn't really enjoy his meal.
We were met by Mike and Ellie at Luton, which was great and gave us a chance for a chat on the way home. A good curry from the Raj to end the day.
An excellent holiday in every respect.
