Extract From Thessaloniki Post:

An airport flight departures screen, showing Thessaloniki departing at 07:10am

Hi there! So after a brisk and hurried morning getting up at 3:30am, I rushed my way to Gatwick airport to catch my flight to Thessaloniki in Greece. I’ve never been that far east in Europe so far. Exciting times!

I had agreed to meet Noel in Thessaloniki at 12:30 and with a few departure delays, (note the photograph of the screen with flight delays) we finally set off for Greece from separate airports. Keep in mind, Noel did not have a phone, and the idea of catching each other seemed tricky!

Thankfully, everything went to plan and the plane I was on got some tailwind and I arrived on time. Another bonus was that my bag came through on the luggage collection straight away. Sometimes, luck shines on you, and a simple plan becomes the best plan.

People queued on the hard standing waiting to board the plane in a twilight state.

Minutes passed and Noel and I were on a bus heading into town in a country we had never been to before, no understanding of what was going on and on vague directions… Well, by some interpretive takes on the directions, the use of free WiFi and a chat over a coffee, we wandered straight into Emma and Tracy… as if it was meeting someone in the neighbouring village.
