Hello Athens!




It was only a two hour flight to Athens, Greece from Munich, Germany.  However, Athens is one hour ahead of Munich.  Flight was uneventful, except there was some sort of medical emergency in the back of the plane, as they were panicky on the intercom about needing a Doctor.

Deb had the window seat and she took this picture as we headed south to Greece.
The mountains/alps were poking through the cloud cover and it was quite a sight to behold.


Almost to Athens.  All the white spots are houses. We could feel the warm sun rays through the window of the plane.  It is not hot here, but very comfortable for shorts and a T.


There be orange trees lining the streets near the Port area of Piraeus.  Deb is standing in front of the excellent 'Hotwire' deal she found us online.  55 Euros and we are in a really modern, clean, safe hotel and only a ten minutes drive to the Port to catch our Cruise tomorrow.  



Fishermen cleaning octopus.  Yikes.  Dinner?


Jumping for oranges....not really.....But it is tempting.  The trees are dripping with oranges. 


I love taking pictures of people just going about their daily life.


This is only one block from our hotel.  A harbour off the ocean.  Many local fishermen as well as huge yachts.  Very pretty.



School age kids getting a snack on the way home.  Check out the sausages hanging all across the window.  Wonder what they serve there? Hmmmm.

Dinner on the Port Greek style.  Grilled veggies with feta and balsamic vinegar and.......


 ....Chicken souvlaki with yogurt sauce.
Very good.  But enough for us to share.
