Day 97

I had my last breakfast with Will; Jen and Jen were there too. After breakfast, I had to hug Will goodbye. It was quite sad. Then, I showered and repacked a couple of times while watching ANTM and waiting for Jen to get back. Eventually, it was time to head to reception, hand in our keys, and I called a taxi. We made our way to the airport and printed out boarding passes. Stupidly, I left my phone in my pocket (I forget about it because I don't use it... ever) so I beeped in security. Instead of letting me go through again when I pointed out I had forgotten about my phone, they patted me down. Once we finally sat down, it turned out we had two hours to kill until our gate opened, so we just sat and talked. We boarded out plane from Newcastle to London and realised we would not be sitting next to each other. Jen was just two seats in front of me. Since the flight was only an hour, I didn't mind being separated. The woman next to me was very nice also. In London, we didn't think we'd be fed on the plane to Greece, so we bought pre-made sandwiches. We boarded our next plane... and still weren't next to each other; we were in the middle seats on either side of the aisle. Lucky for us, a mother and son got split up in the window seats, so they asked if we'd like to switch, obviously we would. Jen and I read a bit of a book, then to our surprise got fed on the airplane. After that we just talked and she braided my hair. The flight was 3.5 hours and we arrived in Greece around 2:30am. We grabbed a taxi and told him the name of our hotel. Unfortunately, he didn't know where it was and we realised we didn't have the address, but he made some calls and figured it out. It was 50 Euros and a 40 minute car ride there. We got here and the man at the desk was so nice. The hotel is simple and beautiful. I skyped my family to let them know we made it, then Jen and I passed out (and slept until 1pm in Greece time)
