So tomorrow we embark on our attempt to go back home. We will fly to Frankfurt in the morning and then rely on standby and God's graces to get back to Texas.
I decided to do the updates one day at a time, the same way I did the Germany/Switzerland trip, to spread out the goodness.
Enjoy day 1!
Arrived in Thesselonia, warm weather greeted us off the plane, and it was wonderful.
Got a taxi to our hotel, and on the way I quickly realized that everything is (naturally) in the Greek alphabet. The map our hotel gave us is the same – getting around will be interesting, but hey, we are on vacation, so I decided to do my best to be laid back about it. Fortunately, we found out it was pretty easy and had little trouble.
After checking in, we were hungry, but faced with a potential problem – with the time change it was already 11PM and we weren’t sure if anything would be open. Well we wandered down the main road for a block, then turned off it due to construction to a small side road, and one turn later and we spot an outdoor restaurant sitting in a short, wide street connecting two bigger ones. So we sit down. The waiters were friendly and tell us the food offers in English. We order, unsure of the cost. The food arrives quickly and is delicious and when the bill comes we are surprised with the affordability of it. The atmosphere of this place was perfect, there were two men sitting at a table who were playing the mandolin and singing, but I don’t think they were hired by the restaurant, it looks like they had just finished eating and broke out the instruments. It was great!
No pictures yet, unfortunately I didn't have my camera at the super cute restaurant.
