Well a long day's travelling had brought us back home.

We started off by being gently eased out of Villa Linakis by Eggy and Weggy and spent our last couple of hours making a new friend of the lovely Isabella down at the Elena Stella apartments where we had a splash in the huge pool and a leisurely lunch as we talked about her fabulous Greek wedding.

We were then whisked off by taxi to Corfu Airport and, being dropped at the Departures door found our check in queue and settled down for the wait. After  a few minutes a check in troll in Olympic Airways get up told us we had just pushed in. We explained that we had walked in a few minutes ago and joined the back of the queue. She told us we should have joined a different queue that stretched around the building somewhere else. At this point Linda gave here her best basilisk stare and, to cut a long story short, we ended up staying where we were, in spite of check in troll #2 joining in and making an even bigger fuss. She too got the Gorgon treatment, which at least saved me having to explain in my best management consultantese that if you are going  to try to have a system it's best not to leave socking great holes in it through which innocent people can pass, and then try to make them feel bad just because you are too incompetent to run a chip shop.

When we finally got to the check in desk we found that we had magically acquired 8 kilos of luggage since the way out which put us 4Kg over weight between the three of us and meant that they wanted us to pay 40 euros extra.

We then had great fun moving stuff from our cases to our hand luggage, putting on my jacket and stuffing the pockets with books, getting it all reweighed, getting a very grumpy look from check in  troll # 3 when it worked out OK and then (stupidly enough) moving it all back to the original cases under her nose before putting it the through security scanner. What a waste of time THAT was

Anyway, in spite of that we had a lovely last day. We were very sorry to say good bye to Eggy and Weggy, but we'll see you again next year!

Pommie we so identify with all that. You have entertained us Arilliacs so comprehensively this last week, we all owe you a massive vote of thanks. You have sussed Eggy out (it took us a while) and have sampled all that Arillas has to offer. Well actually, Jen and me could give yous a few lessons in that department...

I just want to say that Eileen picks her guests well - yous and Janet have been fabulous. Just because you're back in Blighty, don't forget us lot. You are so part of it all now.

Join us on the forum. Post rubbish like I do. They now say "Oh it's him again. Mark it as read." But the point is how Arillas, that quiet little fishing village in NW Corfu has hundreds of Addicts. You have tasted it. Never let it be said you have wasted it.

I second that Phil...I think Pommie should head up here on the 14th August for the Edinburgh Festival (well o.k maybe the Fringe!) to stage his own stand up act.

I just want to say that Eileen picks her guests well - ....

Cheers Phil but the honour goes to my guests and Arillas...lol...I'm just a facilitator...lol...I like the sound of that!

Hi Pommie,

It's good to hear you arrived home safely, although you do have me a little worried.  Each time I head to Corfu airport for my journey home I psyche myself up for the 'troll treatment' only to slip into departures unnoticed and unchallenged...does that mean I have a permanent Gorgon face?!!!

YES POMMIE NOW THAT YOU ARE HOME LET US READ MORE OF THE SAME IT REALLY CHEER'S US UP   REMEMBER YOU CAN WATCH THE SUNSET ON THE LIVE CAM JUST TO MAKE YOU MORE HOMESICK, DID YOU EVER TRY GEORGE'S CHICKEN CLUB SANDWICHES? FROM MARTHA (JANET'S SISTER)

[Pommie]

Hi all

Still on Greek time so woke up early

Guess what - it's raining here

Well I don't feel so bad about the check in queue now I know Eileen does it on purpose

I shall be sure to spend more time round here (forum junkie that I am) now that what people are actually talking about - it's a bit odd reading all this before you arrive for the first time as you don't know where anywhere is.

Janet - I never did manage to try the chicken sandwiches - always good to leave something for next time!

Anyway, work beckons (shudder)
