Late shopping in Chania

The last day of the field class saw the students board their coach in Chora Sfakion at 0930hrs. The early start allowed the group to spend four hours in Chania where it was back to the commercial hustle. At 1500hrs the coach picked everybody up for the half hour drive to the Airport.

Getting through the airport was marred by the check-in desk charging a student  for excess baggage before Ken and Richard were also stopped and asked for extra money. Alan said an armed policeman was honing in on the heated discussion before the check-in staff eventually said it was OK for the luggage to go through however not before Ken had his hand baggage strip searched.

It was not long before the group were in the departure lounge, the really keen ones connected to the free wireless connection completing their blogs and uploading the light hearted end of course videos that they were producing. Ken meanwhile was completing this, his first real Blog whilst moaning at the exorbitant four euro airport price of the coffee he was drinking and from its taste wondering if it was really a coffee cardboard cut out.

Last stage homeward bound

Take off was on time, tail winds were strong helping the plane with an arrival at Gatwick some thirty minutes ahead of schedule. The coach was awaiting and deposited some tired students back at the University campus looking forward to going on their summer break in a few days.
