So Tatiana and I started on our trip to Greece. I gave Tatiana my cherries to carry through security thinking that they would let a cute girl carry them through, but her bag got tagged and I thought that it was all due to my cherries. However they did not confiscate the cherries and I was dancing the happy dance.
When we dropped our bags the agent told us we boarded through the lounge so we lifted our nose and headed to the lounge. We had to try the food (I can withstand anything except free food.) I know everyone says the food isn't free, but that makes it even more important to eat.
After that we boarded and they gave us all free champagne. Yes even Tatiana. According to the rules the drinking age on the airplane is the drinking age of origin of the airlines so Tatiana proceeded from champagne to mimosas. Then she sl put like a baby for the remainder of the flight.
Teenagers they can sleep. She slept most of that flight then she slept the whole flight from London to Athens. Bah humbug. What I would have given to have gotten three hours.
We get to Athens I get a cab and am informed that cabs only take cash. I hope I have enough cash for everything.
The cab dropped us at the hotel, and I started cracking up, we are right next to a strip joint. Ted and I always laugh when we see tourist coming out of hotels in less desirable parts of the towns. Cheap hotels are not always in the best part of town, but I thought we were mid range so it would be okay part of town, but I guess not.
I booked though booking.com and I guess they booked us in a "sister hotel" instead of the one the taxi driver dropped us off at. It was just a block away, but we were in at least" the semi red light district." Got there safely, but did pass a few more strip clubs.
Ahh the joy of not knowing what you are doing.

Had to laugh about the location of your hotel. Brought back memories of the *working* motel Durf and I accidentally stayed at in Washington on the bike trip.
ReplyDeleteRe Tatiana, maybe you should carry around a flask of mimoas in case you need a break. (Just kidding, Tatiana!)
