Corfu and back again a travellers tale.......


Yassou to all and hope y'all well. Trip to Corfu went OK, journey out from UK was good. Well we thought it was good until we looked out of the plane window at Heathrow and there was a man with a huge hosepipe de-icing the wings so we could take off!! All went well tho' but the many hours wait in Athens were tedious.
The weather was not too kind it rained plenty and was cooler than expected but not as cool as it was in the UK. We saw friends and the house was all OK so once we had done all this we were ready to move on to NZ.
We left Corfu yesterday at 0940hrs and then had many more hours wait in Athens for our connection to Gatwick. Mrs D managed to get through at least 87 novels during the wait and I wandered aimlessly around the airport.
We arrived into Gatwick late but were straight onto a train to East Croyden and our travelodge for the night!! Today we leave at 1840 for Singapore from Heathrow getting into Singapore tomorrow lunchtime. A few more novels and more wandering 'til we fly to NZ Tuesday eve arriving in Christchurch dazed and confused on Wednesday.
Next broadcast will hopefully be from NZ when we have come round and gotten onto their time. Until then we wish you well and look forward to 22 hours in the sky in a cigar tube!! Y'all keep in touch now.......
