Our cabin is really quiet and I slept great last night!
A beautiful day today in Athens.
We got up and I went up to meet everyone for breakfast and no one was there. Lisa and Boyd arrived a little after 8am and then Carleigh arrived a few minutes later. David arrived at 8:20 thinking it was 7:20 because in the daily paper which we get a day early, there is a time change tonight but they thought it was last night. Finally got everyone together and we headed out about 9:30. Walked to the Metro station and took the train into Athens. Got off at the Acropolis stop and walked towards the Acropolis. It is being worked on so lots of scaffolding around it – not great for taking pictures. We walked up a hill near it and the view of Athens was amazing!!
Walked down into the main area and stopped for a coffee/tea. Then we walked and walked. Stopped for lunch at a little cafe. As we were eating this man ran by very fast followed by a policeman who stopped to pick up the purse the man had dropped while running away. I guess purse snatching is a problem here. For the rest of the day I held mine a little closer and tighter.
We walked around for a while longer before heading back about 4pm.
On the walk back to the ship from the Metro we stopped for a beer (everyone but Carleigh & I had one), but when they had a second round we decided it was time to leave. We were back on board by 5pm (sail at 8pm).
We went up to the buffet for dinner.
We went to see the show “SHOUT!” which was music from the 60's and then the comedy show (same show as last night)
Tonight we set our clocks back an hour.
Tomorrow is a sea day so we are hoping to sleep in!
