Turnaround in Heraklion/Greece (Heraklion, 07.05.2004)
	Shortly before sunset, we arrived at Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete. We are in a good neighbourhood: Whole europe seems to be here! The finnish came here with this B757-200 of Air FInland, and some other German tourists chose Thomas Cook/Condor's Airbus A320 to get here.
	Even Luxembourg, represented by a B737-700 (with nice winglets) from Luxair.
	Nice view onto the small island of Dhia in front of Heraklion airport. And some of the Greek Air Force bunkers (the reason why I was not eager enough to get pictures outside of the plane, as the Greek military police really does not like taking pictures on the tarmac).
	The baggage of our inbound guests is unloaded, and brought to the terminal.
	The fins are taxying to the takeoff position...
	...followed by an Aegean B737. This airline does mainly "island hopping" on the greek islands with their DeHavilland Dash 8 aircraft, and flies tourists between central europe and the greek holiday destinations.
	The next bunch of germans rolls in onboard of this B757-300 (the "long prick" - it's soooo long).
	In the meanwhile, a TUI Belgium/Jetair B737-800 has taken the place of the Air Finland B757.
	Baggage cart in greek terms...
	And then I finally had the guts to take some pictures outside.
	Our famous "Lima Hotel" (the one with all the people's stickers on the outside).
	A quick look into the galley.
	Very good: All the food is already there. Now we hope that some passengers are missing and we will get a real hot meal!
	The uneventful view outside through the "peep window" of one of the main exits.
	Our cabin, seen from the front entrance.
	Our colleagues from another german airport are taxying in, giving us a short "salut" by blinking the landing lights.
	And as soon as they have taxied by, we are ready for taxy.
	There she goes... And if we expedite, we get a second sunset after takeoff!
