Lazy, lazy, lazy, the alarm went off as usual, at 06.50 and being a bad person I just rolled over and went back to sleep for half an hour. My first day off from running. We have arrived in Piraeus, and I now have internet access on my MIFI, so I did some housekeeping on the blog. It has really eaten up my free minutes on the ship’s internet.
Breakfast was taken before leaving the ship and heading off for the Piraeus Metro station. It was a simple operation to get a day ticket (4.50 Euro) and since there is only one line at Piraeus, impossible to go wrong. With the ticket validated for travel, we headed into Athens, getting off at Monastiraki. A bit of a stroll, and a stop at a cafe for a frappe, we headed into Plaka.
We took a leisurely stroll though Plaka, where we bought the obligatory postcards and headed back to the Metro. We were going to head off back towards Faliro and the marina for lunch at Salty, a fish restaurant on the seafront. Lunch was a Greek Salad, Calamari and Sardines. Lovely!
