Boyz weekend didn’t happen so I had to find alternative quite late. I search for cheap flights from airports near by ro somewhere new in Europe. I settled for Thessaloniki from Zagreb, 145 € by Ryanair.
Thursday
On thursday I left early from office. Last things to pack and I was off to Zagreb. I drove my Twingo. Mother and sister came along. Mam would continue with cousine from Zagreb and sister drove back home.
Road to airport was crowded few times, exiting Ljubljana, close to Novo mesto and around Zagreb. We needed more then 2 hours to airport.
After cigarette it was time for security. I came 1.5 hourse before flight. I tought it was 1 hour before boarding. But after delay it was 2 hours, just mail, no info at airport.
We waited in tunnel for half an hour, one lady got pissed and I layed down. Flight was with Lauda on A320, got seat 6c, enough leg space, not clean, minor turbolence at landing.
With bus I moved to city, wrong ticket, 0.6€ instead 2€. On short walk to Stay Hybrid hostel (25€) I bought beer for 2.3 at kiosk.
After checkin I walked to port and had a beer at port, fancy 4.9€ small beer. Some fireworks. Foud another bar with craft beer, 4.5, nymph and one with salt water. I was in bed at 2:30.
