Tripping 'round the UK...

I returned the rental car this morning at around 10 30 and spent two
and a half hours around the thessaloniki airport.
The biggest surprise was the easy jet Christmass party for the
children... Or so I thought.
They even had a buffet table laid out with delicious foods. I will try
to post the pictures soon.
Well, as hungry as my kids were, they dove into the buffet helping
themselves with delicious foods.
Later though, we found out that we crashed the Christmass party for
for some of the employees of the Thessaloniki airport. And I was soooo
close convincing Santa that my kids need toys as well.
Oh well, we finally borded easy jet. The plane is smaller than the
plane the purple airline uses.
I have to admit that the flight crew was very nice and that the Easy
Jet seats are wider and have more leg room.
However, I did find it very disturbing that some Greek tried to delay
the plane 'cause his wife forgot something at the airport.
All at all, very uneventfull flight with overpriced food and beverages.
The real cultural shock happened when I got off the airplane. The
first "British" person I saw looked like he run from the set of "The
Kumars at number 5". The second one was at the rent-a-car place where
the guy had to ask me 5 times if we need help with the bags. It's like
he didn't speak English.
My driving in the UK lasted till the first roundabout. After that I
let Emily drive. It was soo much easier for her. I mean, she HAD to
learn to drive on the wrong side of the road to get her driver
licence.
Right now we are the travellodge on A43 with about 200 miles to go to
Manchester. There is Burger King near by and I'm off to enjoy it....
