We were up early to finalize packing as well as topping off the boat’s water tanks. We had arranged two taxis, one for Mike and Kay who were going to the airport and one for Terry, Joanne, Rick, and me. We were going to an apartment in Athens. It was chaotic because there were a lot people leaving the docks simultaneously. As it turned out someone else took the taxis we’d payed for the night before. We thought the base manager was resolving the situation, but I think he was busy with other things (there were a lot of boats that were coming in that morning and going out that afternoon). We waited an hour for another taxi which wasn’t a big deal for the group going to Athens but it was a big deal for Mike and Kay. They had a plane to catch. Luckily Mike and Kay had allowed themselves plenty of time so it all worked out OK. Eventually a van came and it was big enough for all six of us. We went to the airport, dropped off Mike and Kay and then went to the apartment. We had a little trouble getting into the apartment because we weren’t supposed to check in until 3 and we were there at noon. We befriended the staff at the little cafe across the street and used there WiFi to contact the apartment manager. We were in by 12:30.
Once we were settled we went out for lunch at a restaurant recommended by our cafe friends. It was quite hot so Terry, Joanne, and Rick went back to the air conditioned apartment to spend the afternoon relaxing. I tried to do a little shopping but couldn’t find what I wanted. Here are pictures from my walk.
That evening we went out to dinner at a cute place called 7 Cactus which Rick had found on TripAdvisor.
