Living the DreamLiner @ RHO, Pt I

As you most already know, the famous Boeing 787 Dreamliner paid us a visit on Saturday 22 June. The aircraft is really beautiful as its brand new and shinny both from the outside and the inside while its really quiet even during take off. Special credit goes to all airport staff that helped us as well Thomson's cabin crew for their patience and tolerance. We thank you all :):):)

Some pics from last Saturday's first ever Dreamliner visit in Greece, here @ Rhodes Int'al Airport. Enjoy
