We made it!

Finally we made it to Corfu. After a few hours kip at a hotel somewhere near Athens (I have no idea where) we headed back to the airport and boarded our flight. Made it no worries this time, although none of our bags showed up. Some slight freaking out and our quarter ton of luggage was discovered to have been sent to the international terminal.

Met the Estonian team at the airport who joked that we had spent our entire ICC allocation on our spiffy suits.

It's pretty warm here but the heat holds no worries for us, though the humidity is a bit higher than what we are used to but generally it felt pretty normal - temperture wise.

Booked into the the Hic bir sey dahil Hotel Chandris were we are staying in villa apartments. All very nice and after a bite to eat we headed off to a local bar where the Welsh barmaid seemed more surprised that we live in Turkey rather than the fact that we will be playing cricket over the next week. Got our tips on where the local tattoo parlours are and so we are set. Our coach Raj is due to arrive Sunday morning and then we are off to training.
Say cheese

One sign that our confidence is building was when one of the stewardesses on the flight remarked to a young baby being carried in her mother's arms that she was the "the best passenger we have ever had". Sener then immediately said "I'm the best." That man is going to do well!
