Greece - Hey Ho Adventure!

On Thursday morning Tomek called -Hey. Fast action, are we going to Greece on Wednesday? How could I say no ?! Especially when the Easter turn of winter only persuaded to flee towards the sun, sea, beach and rocks. The plan was this: we fly to the island of Kos, from there we sail to Kalymnos, the Greek climbing Mecca (over 1000 climbing routes). We had a few days to organize everything, a weekly return flight with Ryanair cost about PLN 900 for both of us, including additional luggage and the rest of the fees, accommodation in this period costs 25 euros for a studio for two people (20 euros for one), we found it for 18 euros and packing, which was not so easy looking at the weather outside the window. There was a snowstorm in Krakow on Wednesday morning. We sat in the plane for over an hour waiting for the plane to be cleared of snow and we could take off. There was stress drowned out by thoughts of sunny Greece. Luuhuu, finally around 11:15 we managed to take off. Around 1:30 pm the turbulence started, we circled something and we landed. What some people started to clap -So Polish. After a while it turned out that we are not in Kos at all, but in Crete. We were told it was just a stopover, they would refuel the plane and we were going on, because there are bad weather conditions over Kos: wind, rain and all the rest. After less than an hour of sitting on the plane, we got new information from the captain - We're going back to Krakow! We will not land in Kos today, you will fly tomorrow. That's when the atmosphere started to get hot! It looked dramatically hilarious. The babies started to get into a row, especially the one who wanted to rebel all passengers against the service. She exclaimed, "Let's not be fooled!" We will not fly anywhere tomorrow! Come on everyone, let's get off here in Crete! The children began to cry, parents exchanged diapers, flight attendants carried water. This atmosphere lasted for about 2 consecutive hours. There were newer and newer information from the captain all the time, incl. that today there is a storm over Kos, so nothing will land there, that there are ferries on strike today, so nothing is sailing. Passengers discussed what to do, called family and friends who checked possible connections from Crete.
