Two Hops to Kefalonia

Sunday 9 June (Day 47)

After  our last breakfast in the Aegean the hotel owner kindly gave us a lift to the airport.  Naxos airport isn’t an international airport and only deals with one flight a day.  We took a set close to the door and watched people check in.  There was a set of scales close by and most men weighed their luggage and then weighed themselves out of curiosity (me included), not one woman did this!

The flight from Naxos to Athens took just 30 minutes, just enough time for a quick drink before landing.  At Athens airport we went to the international food court where we chose Greek cuisine!!

The flight from Athens to Kefalonia took 50 minutes, we arrived just before a Thomas Cook flight so we managed to pick up our hire car before the queues formed.

It is great to be back in the village of Makriotika and to meet up with friends from last year.

I’m afraid there won’t be many blog updates over the next few weeks as it might become quite boring.  We will probably just be doing the following:

Sunny days = beach, probably either Myrtos or Antisamos

Cloudy days = walking

Rainy days = watching Pointless

P.S.  We’ve had many questions asking why we’ve missed out Crete.  We were intending to visit the island but we thought it was just too much hassle to get there, move from port to port once we were there and we have been there before anyway.
