WOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Oct. 24th, 2009 10:59 amTHIS AIRPORT HAS INTERNET AHAHAHAHAH
Okay, so it went down like this.
Family got up at 9:30 and made our merry way down to Gatwick Airport. All is well, we board the plane after eating and F'n'Bs, and take off goes fine, in fact everything is fine for the next 2 hours of flight until-
TUUUUUUURRRRRRRBUUUUUULAAAAAAAANCE!!
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
It was terrifying, sudden, out of nowhere, there was lightning outside the window and we were being bounced around everywhere. My ear was exploding in pain so bad that the whole side of my head ached. It was absolutely horrible and it was only 20 minutes later that we were told that we couldn't land in Corfu. Because the landing strip was flooded by the rain.
So, you're thinking "Wow Pidge, your life must have sucked from that point on." You are mostly mistaken, my friends. Though there was an initial FML moment; they said we'd be landing in Thessalonica to refuel and discuss plans. So decent sucked. Still, mainland Greece. Could always walk back. Got to know most of the other passengers sitting in theback of the plane economy class with us, debated Plato, blah blah. THEN...
Athens!
They sent us to Athens, put us in a FIVE STAR HOTEL FOR THE NIGHT gave us FOOD AT 2:30AM (though, in British time it was only 12:30) and BEDS FOR A WHOLE NIGHT.
DID I MENTION THE 5 STARS ON THIS PLACE? DID I?!
OMIGAWD.
I STAYED IN A 5 STAR HOTEL IN ATHENS.
FUCK YOU CORFU.
Well, I say that, but I'm sitting in an airport once more waiting for a plane to Corfu, since the weather has cleared. Sort of. The English really do bring the weather with them everywhere, don't they? It's all overcast and stuff. Not like we didn't just escape a country that, statistically, is overcast 53% of the year. *shrug* Oh well. It's still 26C outside.
Over all, despite people being grumps about this whole mess, it most certainly could have been worse.
<3 Pidge.
PS. Prepare for art dump when I get home.
