We bid a fond farewell to 120 passengers today while we welcomed 120 new ones. 50 people remain on board from the first 10 days – continuing on with us for the Greek Connection portion of the tour.
Many took a few hours this morning to go into old town Athens to explore and have lunch. It always amazes me how quickly the ship can “turn around” and make ready for another tour. Cabins stewards busy themselves readying each cabin for the new passengers while large crates of food, beverage, water and other necessities are loaded and stowed. During this process however, the ship really gets turned upside-down - so we thought it best to get out of the way and let them do their work.
I have been to the Plaka and Monastrika area in Athens a number of times. It was 5 years ago, almost to the day, that Tom and I found out from our daughter, Christie that we were going to be grandparents. Today, I found myself looking for that perfect gift for my now 4 year old granddaughter, Katie! Time flies!
Back on the ship we are all accounted for and ready to set sail at 6 pm – just in time for a sunset sail away. We welcome our newcomers on board and begin to settle in to another great week exploring Greece and Turkey.
