Tourists find Balkan green lizard in their suitcase after holiday to Greece
Imagine the surprise of Welsh holidaymakers when a reptile jumped out at them while they were unpacking their luggage after a holiday to Greece.

Holidaymakers from Bridgend found a 20cm lizard in their luggage after returning home from Greece.

The creature had made its way into their suitcase while they were packing to leave the Greek island of Kos.

The Welsh holidaymakers called the RSPCA as soon as they discovered the Balkan green lizard on their return. Despite a temperature drop from 26 degrees to 15 degrees during the journey, the creature was in good condition however had shed its tail – a common defence mechanism for the reptile.

The Balkan green lizard, known for its striking green colour, is now well and eating out of its carers’ hands.

Why waiting to book your flights could save you money
Plane talk: Airline vs passenger is a game of cat and mouse. Just don’t blink

Two weeks ago I wrote about how difficult it is, in the world of fluid pricing, to predict the best time to buy a plane ticket.

I wrote that the standard model for air fares involves pricing starting relatively low and gradually increasing towards the departure date.

But a respected former colleague of mine contacted me to provide an example of the worst time to book a plane ticket.

He is heading for Preveza in northwest Greece later this month, and in January booked a return flight from Gatwick.

The fare he paid to easyJet was over £700 per person return.

Last week, however, a friend decided to join the party and made bookings for the same flights. Their fare was less than £220.

He is understandably furious.

At first sight looks to be a set of balls of three different colours. Look at any one individually and it looks brown.
