Monday, 14th May
Well have to get back to Athens again, after spending the weekend break back in the UK. Was actually great being back – albeit only mild, and pretty wet and windy during most of the weekend.
Anyway, an example of my mad logic, for a change I wanted to take a later flight (instead of the standard 08:20BST flight). As previously mentioned, I had taken the Olympic flight, as the BA flight was charging me 3x the normal cost for this return (UK to Greece) leg of the journey, probably because the flight was almost full? Either way at over £400 this was not justified, so Olympic it was.
So I decided to take the 12:20BST flight as I wanted a lie-you. Nah seriously, the reason for the latter flight was that it would land at a good “evening” time in Athens, I could then go to the hotel and grab some dinner and have a nice evening relaxing. What I forgot was that the time taken to get to Heathrow would have made this plan worthless, as I would have had to still take an early taxi up to Heathrow, due to the rush-hour and potential risk of delays. So I left at around 07.30BST – some lie-in, right!! Whoops, that’s poor planning, but lesson learnt!
To add to this, I had to drop my mother and aunt to Gatwick Airport at around 03:30BST as they were taken a 06:00BST flight to Corfu for a short break. So also ruined my plans for a lie-in. Oh boy, best laid plans and all that!
Anyway, having arrived at a pretty good evening time in Athens – at approx 18:30 – not bad, had a nice journey and caught up on some work as well as some well-earned sleep!
