Ok, so I made it to Athens. Finding my cruise ship EasyCruiseOne was quite an ordeal. Before I even made it to the bus from the hotel I had my first mishap. I wasn't watching closely enough and I walked right into the corner of a sign. Ouch. Reach up to touch my head..and return a bloody hand. Ick. Returned to the hotel to see that it wasn't that serious, although it was a little harrowing to cut my head open, I started to actually worry about things that could go wrong when you are travelling along in a foreign country. Hmm. Suffice to say eventually it stopped bleeding and so I assume everything is ok.
As for getting to my cruise ship, yet another adventure. I took the train to the port. No problem, my ticket said Pairues, yet it wasn't specific. I walked like 2km around the port and didn't see the boat anywhere, asked some folks and none had even heard of it before. Turns out there is a Marina quite some way away where the boat was. I took a cab to another area, and got out and tried to catch the boat. Wrong again. Uggh. Finally, when I left that place I got into another taxi and that driver knew where this ship was. It's in a very nice port called Marina Zea. There is an increadible view of the city here and all the other boats around here are private yachts. Today is a special day on this ship. It appears that the owner of this cruise line is having some special event and there is a lot of free stuff going on (buffets, drinks etc.) There is a ton of press too. Very interesting. We'll see how the partying goes as the night progresses!
So, I guess I am just going to go and lie down and chill out for a while now. It has been a LONG day to say the least!!
Hope that everyone is well. I'll be back tomorrow for another update I think.
