Greece - crazy ferries

Day 2.  How do people write on iPads?  It takes like five minutes to write a paragraph and it doesn't correct your errors.  Please forgive all typos and any other grammar or spelling errors.  It isn't my fault it is the iPads fault.

Back to the cherries.  Though I did the happy dance, when I went to eat them they tasted like - awful.  I  saw the TSA agent wipe the bag down, but I didn't know what she wiped it down with.  Still don't know but it is nasty tasting and smelling.  I am sure that she was chuckling knowing she ruined my cherrries.

We had a 7:15 ferry to catch so we were up and out of the hotel by six (yes even Ta).  The tickets said we were to load at E7 so the driver dropped us off at E7 at 6:15.  Feeling pretty proud of myself I saw this huge ferry - huge - semis were driving up and into it that had a flashing sign Naxos 7:25.  Our tickets said 7:15, but I just thought maybe 7:15 loading.  I saw passengers walking up with there suitcases and thought what the heck lets just get on.  I walked up to the guy taking the tickets and he smirked at me. Literally smirked.  He took our tickets and said wrong boat.  We asked him where to go and he sent us to the - well I don't know but she didn't speak English.  She directed us to another boat, and I realized that boat was at e 7 to.  Hmm.  We went up to that boat and that one too was going to Naxos, so I handed our tickets to the guy and he said no and handed them back.  By this time I was wondering if I really had tickets or if I had been faked out.  So we went up to a traffic cop and she sent us to another E7 gate.  However that one was the *right* and we directed to our seats.  The rest of the trip went smashingly well.  Well the ferry ride did.

  1. LOL, that's the kind of experience that drives me right up the wall. At least they didn't let you board the wrong boat. They would have done that in Italy!!

  2. Agree with Twila - glad you got on the boat & swim trip continues - glad you asked directions (not my strong suit)
