Readers Mail….
From Bill Cansick.
Hi Chris,
Well, after a last minute panic due to the RoC refusing to let people cross the border after 2pm, I made it to the Altinkaya Hotel and 12 Brits took the coach to the crossing at Pile.
Any nerves of what to expect were quickly dispelled when we were warmly received by the British Army. Their help and hospitality was amazing, providing water and hot and cold food.
After a couple of hours, our party and quite a few others then proceeded to Paphos airport by coach. We were the only flight, an unreal experience.
Turns out this was the last flight and Easyjet have now grounded their fleet and arriving back at Gatwick was also strange, deserted and straight through passport control with no obvious Coronavirus controls. Again, the drive home was surreal to Harwich in Essex. I have never seen the roads so clear. It’s good to be back with my wife Linda but look forward to returning when we get the all clear.
Special thanks to Sue Kasap, Catherine Hayes, Samantha Blair, Fatos from Cyprus Premier, yourself and CyprusScene, the British Army and Easyjet.
Stay safe and let’s hope this ends soon.
