And the saga continues....
What a miserable trip.
I received one bag last Sunday. This was only the presents, not my clothes. I was without clothes for a week. I have spent 160 Euro on some temporary clothes and a new charger for my phone which was out of action for one week.
In Athens a few days ago apparently luggage had still not arrived. What can I do? I was told to look through all the lost/misplaced luggage at ATH airport. After what seemed an eternity I had given up hope and was about to leave when I notice this suitcase with a Qantas luggage tag. Upon closer inspection it was mine. What a miracle. It was not recorded anywhere in the system as received. Suitcase is damaged beyone repair but luckily all clothes appear to be OK.
As I am starting an escorted tour tomorrow, with limited storage spece, I had to spend 80 pounds today to send extra clothes back to Australia.
To make matters worse both my Aegean airline flights were either delayed or cancelled. Take your pick. Low cost carriers. What a waste of time....
And today my LHR-FRA flight was also cancelled. Surprise, surpirse. I was given compensation with a seat in Club Europe on the next flight. And a new announcement, just now, that the next flight has been delayed by a further 45 minutes.
I just love this trip and there is still 3 weeks to go. If, and I stress if, I ever return to Australia and I seriously reconsider attempting another one of these type of trips. I love SE Asia, it is just so simple....
