David and Julie Browning's Travels
Today we leave Greece. Up early at
6am to head for Athens. We fly out at 11am (with EasyJet, so we are
approaching this flight with some trepidation after seeing them featured
so much on the British show "Airport" - and not always in a good
light!!). But, they are about 1/2 the price of the other airlines.
OK, first hiccup of the day - the car is running really rough. Once we get
onto the road its running like a chaff cutter (will we make it back to
Athens?) Once we hit top speed it runs ok, but when we hit a hill, then
its down to 40kph - a good way to annoy other Greek drivers is to do
40kph on the freeway (oh well, c'est la vie).
We hit the airport with plenty of time to spare - 2nd hiccup of the day. We
miss the turn into the car rental parking area and have to do a couple
of laps around the airport trying to find it again (sighs of
exasperation from navigator Julie). We eventually limp into the car park
to deliver the vehicle. Sage 1 of leaving Greece has been completed.
