Goodbyes again to Crete

It was a bit of a hard day to say goodbyes again to Sweetheart and Crete, I will be back sometime in Spring again and for Sweetheart that's a long time of being on his own again. He'll manage but doesn't believe so now.

My flight was swift and the plane fully loaded with tourists who'd enjoyed a stay in the provinces of Chania and Rethimnon.
When passing from the checkpoint I had to take off even my necklace and when all was clear I asked a woman to help me lock that chain again around my neck; she did willingly and when boarded on the plane we were surprised to find we had booked our seats next to one another! She's Polish/Irish and had flown all day to and fro Ireland as she'd come to Chania to collect her young son, who'd stayed with his grandmama in Chania for a while.

On arrival after midnight I found my Benjamin at the airport to collect me, what was ever so nice!
