Romania to Greece
Flew from Romania to Athens, Greece today. Arrived at the airport with my phone not roaming in Greece and Sky’s phone almost dead. To tap into wifi, I needed to retrieve a code from my email, which was impossible, so no wifi either. Airport information was very helpful, sharing that we had to take the bus and the stop that is closest to our hotel. So we get on the bus and have no clue how to figure out where our stop is. I can’t read any of the signs and the sign in the bus, which normally announces the stops, is not on. Luckily, a kind lady on the bus recognized my bewilderment and asked if she could help. Even more lucky, she was getting off at the same stop. YAY! Then it was a 15-minute walk tour hotel (not yay). It was recommended that we buy ferry tickets tonight, so off we went. That was a bit comical because we were walking around trying to find somewhere to buy tickets but only finding homeless people sitting around every corner. Finally we asked someone and they directed us to a random travel agency type of place. Bought tickets, back to the hotel for dinner and an early night to bed, with a 05:15 AM wake up. I later discovered that there was an actual Blue Star Ferry place, where I could have bought our tickets. Oh well, we got the job done.
