Travel Day
I had the night from hell at the airport. Couldn't sleep and no internet. Bad combination.
At 5 am I checked my pack in and headed for the business lounge. Once I was inside, I headed for the breakfast buffet and stuffed myself. I hadn't eaten that much yesterday so I was starving.
After breakfast, I took a long, hot shower (which was much needed) then camped out in the corner to do some work. Needless to say I was exhausted drifting in and out of sleep. The highlight of my day was when I got to speak to my amazing girlfriend. I spoke to Nadia over SKYPE for about 30 minutes until it was time to board.
I passed out the entire flight. I fell asleep while in London and woke up when I arrived in Athens. AMAZING!
Arrival in Athens was easy. After I got my pack I prepared myself for the challenge of finding my way to my Cousin Mick's house only to be pleasantly surprised by him and his 2 kids, Walton and Grace. I'm going to be staying with them during my stay in Athens.
When we arrived at the house I saw Mary-Beth, my cousin's wife. They showed me my apartment which is awesome. Own room, bathroom and kitchen. I dropped my pack and they took me out for my first Greek dinner.
For those of you who don't know, I try to eat vegetarian. In LA, I eat sushi and sometimes chicken. But when I travel, I like to have some of the local cuisine, even if it is meat but definitely not mayo. We all ate family style and I had a little of everything including lamb. It was my first time and my feelings were mixed but overall, not bad. Not something I would like to eat everyday but managable.
It was nice to finally see Mary-Beth, Walton and Grace. I can already tell that I'm going to love my stay in Athens.
