... the hotel and catch our bus to the airport. Delightful!

Our 8:05pm flight is delayed by about an hour, which means that I reach our hotel at about 10:30pm. My wake-up call is set for just a few hours from now, and at 4am I’ll be on my way to the airport to begin winging my way home.

His sister Tatiana is so wonderful and I am sure that she had some input into the decision because I admire her for her good taste in fashion. It was a lot warmer than I am used to today and correspondingly I brought an enormous bottle of water to explore the acropolis, the monument to Athena, Zeus and ...

... tomato pilaf. At the end of the meal, our server said, "I will bring you dessert." We took this to mean he was offering a complimentary dessert, but we later saw that he charged us.

But the lady at the reception was helpful and provided us the information we needed about getting ...
