Wednesday 21 May 2014. Leaving Santorini

Goodbye to Santorini - a beautiful place
Up early at 7.30 to finish our packing. We only managed to squeeze in one bottle of wine, a Nykteri Reserva. We enjoyed our last breakfast - scrambled eggs and a pancake with maple syrup for me. I filled in a questionnaire and we said goodbye to the Hotel Volcano View. Our lift to the airport arrived at 9.15.

After checking in, we had to carry our bags through security after queuing for ages, and then went through another rather superficial security check. We went to wait on the roof terrace of the departure lounge and watched our plane come in. The Edelweiss flight took off and landed early. The only downside was the lunch selection - Hackbraten or Spaetzli. I ate neither.

On arrival in Zurich we waited ages for our bags, and then caught the train and bus home. It seemed rather surreal.
