From this moment on

We woke up nice and early to head down to the foyer to wave or wonderful friends off on the next leg of their journey. It was soooo hard to say goodbye to the close friends we have made on this tour, we all shed some tears and hugs all round. We will definitely be seeing our crew of weirdos again!  We headed back to our room for a nap - we were lucky to have our rooms booked until midday, then we spent some time reps king our bags (to try to fit all the new shopping into our cases) it was a struggle but hey? We got there in the end. We had about 45 minutes until we had to check out of our room so we went on a hunt for food, out the door we found a puddle of blood with some bloody footprints - that was slightly concerning... But we found a little cafe round the corner that had some AMAZING cheese pies (a Greek savoured pastry). Yummmmmm! We got a cab with ALL of our bags to the airport and tried to get on the earlier flight to London - we were booked on a flight to leave at 730... W...

Oh my god... It's 515am... There is a drunk girl in our room!! Oh wait, it's just Megan! Haha we awoke to a very intoxicated Megan this morning - just arriving back from her second night out in Mykonos. Definitely not the best way to wake up - with stories of the drinks, the men, all of the inappropriateness! The girl knows how to make a hilarious entrance - god love her! Oh well, we had to be up and ready to go by 6am anyway.  I headed down after leaving Alysha to deal with Megan and waited for our group to have breakfast (warm hot dogs and cold eggs are not really my thing for brekkie). All of a sudden I was itchy, on my arm, on my legs, on my back, on my face - CRAP! I had just been eaten alive by mozzies. Dammit. Back on the bus and to the port we headed, on another fun filled 5 hour ferry - catch ya Mykonos, it's been unforgettable!  This ferry was owned by a different company than the one we travelled with on our first journey... This one SUCKED!!! There was no wifi, ...

An early start and off to Athens today, the capital of Greece, where all the magic happens, where the gods were worshipped and things just worked - well back then it did. We had a nice 7am start to finish cleaning our boats before Dimitri came around to inspect them - while we waited for him we popped over to the little bakery to have a cheese roll - an amazingly delicious Greek pastry with feta cheese. I've said this before - Greek food is my absolute favourite!!  We passed our inspection with flying colours, as did the other boats, so we all piled back onto our trusty bus and started the long journey to Athens. It was about a 5-6 hour drive with a toilet stop and a stop at the Corinth Canal - a canal that many tried to create for hundreds and thousands of years but the rock was too solid to get through until the 1800's. It was pretty spectacular, especially with the blue Mediterranean waters flowing through the middle - a girl in our group decided to bungee jump off the...
