Athens!

Hello parents and blog followers

The bus to the airport was fine. Check-in went without a hitch. The KLM flight to Amsterdam was very smooth. The food was actually good, and there was a ton of entertainment, including first run and classic movies, to electronic games, to Berlitz Greek lessons.
In Amsterdam, we met our guide, Paul, and he was friendly and efficient. He had a wait a bit, as a piece of carry-on luggage was left on the plane, but we managed to obtain it without too much hassle. The bus that took us to the hotel in Athens was one of the finest buses we have ever traveled in.
We checked into the Titania, which is located in a choice part of town, and the hotel is first rate.
After a short rest, we commenced a walking tour of the nearby sites. Following the tour, we had a good dinner in a lovely restaurant in the city.
After dinner, we walked back to our hotel, where we had a meeting in a meeting room. From the meeting room you could be the Acropolis lit up in the background. There we went through all the particulars and procedures pertaining to the following days on board the cruise ship. We are all exhausted! Pictures to follow when we have more internet access time...
