What are the chances!?

So the last time I blogged we had not talked to many people at the London hostel. The clubbing room mates left and we had new ones move in just as we were getting ready to pack for the morning. However, Paige and I meet a girl in the common area who was also from Vancouver and she lived in North Vancouver too! She still looks very familiar too me but I can't put my finger on where I have seen her before the London encounter.

We left at 6am in the morning to catch the train to Gatwick. The Train was only 30mins and we were ahead of schedule. We walked through the busy airport all tired and hungry, looking for where we check our bags. As we slithered through the hundreds of people rolling our suit cases I heard someone say "sorry" to bumping someone with their luggage(both "excuse me" and "sorry" are very uncommon words said in public in London). I looked to the person and realize it is my cousin, Courtney! We were both shocked to see each other on our traveling adventures. After the "oh my god, this is my cousin!" introductions to our friends, we caught up a bit and said our farewells for the second time once in Vancouver and second in London. See you in a year Court!

After that 1 in a million encounter we checked our bags, ate breakfast and boarded the plane at 9. The plane ride was an 3.5 hours long but we are safe in Greece. This hostel is way nicer than the London one, and I have free internet on top of a free breakfast as well! One of the guys in our room is from Vancouver as well! Seems like we re not the only Vancouverites in the hostels, however we have been the youngest.

That's all I have for my fellow followers I hope you enjoyed it.
