Daily Reports Port Days QE Greek Islands 2016

October 16th – Departing Katakolon

17/10/201606/08/2021

Lunch was massive, we had ordered two Greek salads, a small fish platter and a small meat platter to share between the four of us. The small platters turned out to not be very small, so by the time we had finished we were all stuffed, with a lot of

October 16th – Katakolon

16/10/201606/08/2021

It was a slightly earlier start for me this morning, as I had a shore excursion booked. I was in the gym for 06.45 and did my morning run. I went straight from the gym to the Lido buffet to get some breakfast and a cup of tea, and the

October 15th – Evening

16/10/201606/08/2021

Jane’s second cocktail was another old favorite, the Breakfast Martini, while I had a very nice pint of Marston’s Pedigree. We sat and chatted to Pat and Giana far beyond the 18.00 dress code cut-off, so didn’t get much of a rest back in the room before dinner. We were

October 15th – Heraklion

15/10/201606/08/2021

I’m back on it, even though I hated the alarm going off at 06.50, I dragged my carcass out of my pit and up to the gym for my morning’s run. I came back to the room with a cup of tea from the Lido for Jane. She’s not well,

October 14th – Departing Athens

15/10/201606/08/2021

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

October 14th – Ashore in Athens

14/10/201606/08/2021

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

October 11th – Leaving Palma

12/10/201606/08/2021

Even though I had sorted out the Three data sim, the internet was bloody slow, I only had a 3G connection and it took ages to upload the photo to the previous blog. It took that long, that I had to order another drink, Pedigree for me this time and

October 11th – Palma de Mallorca

11/10/201606/08/2021

I had a good sleep, waking about 20 minutes before my alarm. After puffing my way up 6 decks, I got to the gym to find two old boys on the treadmills having a walk. Surely  it’d be a damned sight more interesting walking around deck 3 (three laps is

Embarkation

07/10/201606/08/2021

We left New Milton nice and early, arriving at the Ocean Terminal at 13.55, check in was seamless and we were in our stateroom by 14.15, very, very quick. Jane is currently unpacking, so I’m off having a sneaky snack under the pretense of checking out where our table is
