We stayed in a villa in Coral bay Paphos for a week. It was lovely and everyone was so friendly.

We were due to fly home last Wed eve but the plane developed a technical issue so flight was rescheduled for Thurs afternoon but we all know what happened on Thurs.
We were put up in an all inclusive hotel totally free for 6 days, as soon as the plane was fixed and airspace open they got us home. We were one of the first flights into Gatwick.

I went there for my Funnymoon in 1992 - a year or so after Dan Air went bust - Mr. T himself worked for them and who should we bump into in the hotel foyer only an ex-colleague who was made redundant when the company shut down and unlike Mr T himself didn't get to stay on when the engineering dept was taken over. Then while chatting to him and his wife who should walk past but someone else who had the same thing happen to them. Then they took us to a fab restaurant called the Cuckoo's Nest in Larnaca where that was run by a Cyprus Airways Rep that my FIL had dealings with when he worked for British Aerospace and Mr T & the rest of the Dan Dare Motly Crewe had dealings with him at Manchester Airport and when we arrived there he was there with a young Lad who had also been made redundant from Dan Dare but was then working for Cyprus Airways - so you can imagine how Romantic my Honeymoon was :rolleyes: :rolleyes: - I have to say I never had such fab meals on holiday and the fillet steaks just melted in your mouth mmmmmmmm.

The most Romantic part was when we went on a mini cruise to Egypt & Israel on a ship called the Romantica on which there were 20 other honeymoon couples - :laughing: :laughing: The crewe couldn't believe when they invited any honemoon couples to a champaigne reception that so many couples would turn up they said the most they had ever had on a single cruise in the past was 6. It was good though we were all ages and all had a different story to tell.

We did have a few days on our own at the end of the holiday when the others went home and we didn't then frequent the Cuckoos nest I discovered "Stifado" & "Kelftico" - mmmm its differnt in other parts of Greece I didn't like it whereever I was last year - went to visit Mr T while he was working abroad so didn't take much notice of where we were as it wan't a proper family holiday. - I think the name of Island began with a K ?????:eek: :huh:

So happy memories all round really though!!!
