Santorini, Greece – Getting Away Between Covid Traffic Lights.
August 16, 2022This was a trip we took in September 2021. As I recall, this was when Covid had pretty much ‘done one’ in the UK, but travel restrictions remained a ballache when travelling abroad.

November 23, 2019The trip starts with a taxi to Heathrow. All good. Disaster strikes when we find that terminal 2 does not have a Wetherspoons! – What the fuck!? We have a routine!
