Izmir

Another night of little sleep. Woke up the same time as the night before (1:30am). Called down to the desk and they sent up a security guy. He heard it and knew what is was and where it was coming from – the kitchen below us. Within 10 minutes it had stopped but started up again.
Woke up at 7am and met the Taskers for breakfast at 8. Then we all went out to see the sights. It had been raining but it let up by the time we left the ship at 9. Not a whole lot to see in Izmir. It started raining again at one point and we stopped and huddled under a large umbrella for some shelter (see photo – Sean had set the camera to timer mode and he hit a button by mistake that changed the color of the photo).
Walked around a bit more but we were wet so all but David grabbed a cab and went back to the ship.
When we got back I went to see about a room change and they had a new room for us so we changed rooms (this is the trip of room changes). We are now in an obstructed view room but my big concern was what was above and below the cabin – just cabins above and a hallway below.
Met another woman (Lisa) that I had met online today for a drink. She and her husband are joining us on our tour of Athens tomorrow.
Carleigh went to the buffet for dinner while I met Lisa and then joined me while I ate at the Blue Lagoon.
Tonight we went to see the comedy show.
Tomorrow Athens and they are forecasting sunny and 26 C - finally some sun and heat!
