We had everything packed up
by 9.00 and those that were leaving set off to the Souda Bay Cemetery
for Allied Forces in the 2nd World War.
Afterwards we visited
the Monastery of Agia Triada on the Acrotiri
peninsula near the Airport.

We had a little turbulence on the flight
home and were looking forward to landing when the pilot said there was an
incident at Gatwick and we did not have enough fuel to stay circling
around awaiting our turn to land. We landed at Luton refuelled
and finally landed at Gatwick two hours late. We would have
liked to get out at Luton and take the train from there, but that was not
allowed.
