Packing again, late checkout, Athens cathedral and arriving at the side of my Scarlet Lady.

We arrived 2 hours before departure and everything is strategically planned so I sat waiting in the sun and shade and wondered why I could hear the Aussie twang. Am I back home. I’ve been so long away I really didn’t expect it. Fast forward a few days and unfortunately I find a strong mix of Oz and Americans with strong opinions and questionable etiquette when queuing. Que miserable! Oh well it must be getting me ready for home. After a long day and organised embarking we find a foreign suitcase at our door but no Clare baggage and no champagne. Luckily we had a

cabin attendant who told us to call him Aladdin! (Little did we know the magic he would bring.) A few days later the champagne arrived with cork attached sadly. I wished I’d asked for help. I opened the door and there was Aladdin. So we ushered him in. He popped the cork which we can’t find and there’s a dent in the ceiling. He left. I wished we’d taken a picture. The doorbell rang and Lo and behold there was Aladdin. He took our picture and picked up his forgotten paperwork ( and then possibly ran for his life). Nice aperitif on the balcony followed by an Extra Virgin restaurant experience with a coffin dessert prior to Halloween 🎃
