Baptism of Fire!

So I headed back to Greece today from England flying from London Gatwick airport to Chania. I arrived almost four hours before the flight was due to depart (Bit early in hindsight) having almost no where to sit at 2 am I decided to be sleep rough on the floor of the departure area at Gatwick. Sadly, going to Greece yesterday meant dealing with onward protests from the air traffic controllers who have been constantly on strike these days. After sitting for an hour or two I noticed that my flight was delayed from 5:50 am to 7am which I was expecting. After trying to amuse myself for the last four hours because of being physically unable to sleep I headed to the plane happily knowing that I was only three and a half hours away from being in the arms of my love. After getting into the seat of the 8781 Easyjet flight to Chania the pilot then notified us all that due to the strike from the greek air traffic controllers we would be sitting for another hour twiddling our thumbs and continually getting pissed off.After an hours wait we had all finally taken off and were well on our way to Chania.

I arrived well in Chania, got to my partners place and had settled down after sleeping for an hour or two. We had decided to go see the new Pirates of the Caribbean film, because my girlfriend Elizabeth is mad about Johnny Depp!

Advert available at the Megaplace

After checking on the website of the Megaplace bowling and Cinema in Chania we went excitedly to the epic fort of fun for all the family and went to get the tickets. At this time, the girl ( who i think poorly needs to learn about customer service) told us in a I can't be bothered to speak to you voice that the film was actually at 7 instead of 9 which was advertised on the cinema site! Driving back to Elizabeth's place we saw cars driving dangerously through red lights and at that point I knew that for the next two and a half months that I'm here for, I have had a real Baptism of fire introduction to being back in my homeland Crete!
