Ha ha. Ha. Ha. There were 4 flights of luggage appeared in the (massively overcrowded) baggage reclaim hall at roughly the same time and 2 reclaim belts. One was showing the Manchester flight only. All 4 flights had luggage randomly distributed across both belts. Which didn't make for chaos and frayed tempers at all. Oh no. It only took 45 minutes to get our bag, including J skipping through customs and back 3 times to get hold of the rare and elusive luggage trolley.
The taxi journey to Vamos from Chania was exciting to say the least: High speeds, ignoring double white lines and passing other cars to within hair's breadth of oncoming cars. But the final approach was more sedate, through a village and through Vamos itself.
The village is small and the new part indistinguishable from old, to us. It is quite hilly and there are plenty of places to eat and drink, if you include a chocolate shop and a kind of fast food place. There are a few grocery and convenience shops and as well as the chocolate/pastry shop, there is a proper bakery too. So, we should be fine for variety of food. And the cottage is simple, with limited cooking facility made even more limited by the existence of only one casserole pot and a small milk pan. Not a lot to cook with really.
