We were supposed to go to Mykonos but the winds were coming on strong and the captain decided that we could not safely port there! So we did not get to go to Mykonos and we had a day on the boat while we moved on to Turkey. We got to port late that afternoon and they said that you could be on or off the boat all night. We headed into town and I might have bought NIKES for everyone 🙂 20-25$ each. Lots of the our group ate at a restaurant there but we just were not one bit hungry.

Happy Sunday. We woke up at the port in Thessaloniki! We got off the ship and found a Bus Tour to jump on. It took us all over town and told about the different buildings or landmarks.

After our sight seeing we found the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! Ate some ice cream and called it a day.

We got up and went sight seeing. We walked to the Acropolis and then miraculously got thru all of the crowds of people and got tickets to get right in. It truly felt like a little miracle. Parthenon. The Roman Forum of Athens.

We got some food in the market and then picked up our suitcases and took a taxi to Piraeus, Greece to find our cruise ship!!

Ben and I caught an afternoon flight on Thursday September 7th and headed to Greece! We flew all night and had a layover in Frankfurt Germany.

Then we went on to Athens, Greece! Once we landed there we took a taxi across too our hotel and closer to the cruise port: Hotel Brown Acropol. Lots of travelling by this time. I needed a nap and a shower and Ben needed a Gyro. We got checked in and went across the street for dinner. We walked around the park square and then called it a night.
