We.returned to the ship at about 15.30 travelling back from the marina at Faliro by trolly bus into the centre of Piraeus, and then walking back the rest of the way, proper little adventurers. Greece may be on it’s uppers, but there’s still plenty of money about looking at some of the yachts in the two marinas that we passed on our travels.
We timed getting back on board quite well, normally there are several returning coaches, pulling in when we get back to the ship, but this time there were none, so we breezed through security, dropped our postcards off with the Purser’s desk, and retired to our stateroom for a rest. We’d not found a postbox and since we were still in Greece tomorrow, seemed sensible to let the Purser post them for us, rather than forgetting about them and probably having to deliver them by hand.
Rested we then decided we were in desperate need of a nice cuppa. So we sat in the Lido, with a tea and slice of cake watching the world go by for half an hour, and then did the same by in the comfy chairs by the pool.
It was an informal night tonight for dinner, so getting ready didn’t take too long. We were down to eight again tonight, I can only assume this was because Peter and Linda’s excursion to the Corinth Canal took it out of them, it was a long one. Dinner was the usual standard, I started with Antipasto and had an excellent Pepper Steak for a main course finished off with a double helping of Lemon Meringue pie!
We seen Lorraine Brown before and as Jane seemed to be coming down with something we trotted off to bed.
