We could have done a lot of things on our last day in Athens, but we chose to take it easy.
We had a late breakfast - delicious pastries - read a little bit, and then went to make some boat and train reservations.
Back to the apartment to grab our turtle shells (or backpacks, as they´re more commonly known) and then off to get some food.
We said goodbye to our host, with whom we only spent about 20 minutes. He was sleeping on the couch in his undies, so we had to wake him up in one of the most childish displays of giggling I have experienced since the third grade. If you were wondering, Leslie and I were the ones giggling before we tapped his shoulder. It felt like boys had coodies again and we had to raise our hands to go to the bathroom.
I think he was a little embarrassed to be caught, uh, with his pants down, so we left the room and let him clothe himself. Good times.
And then we went back to our little Greek restaurant - for the third time. If you thought twice wasn´t bad enough, welcome to our trip. The food was just that good and that affordable.
On to Pireaus, the port in Athens, so we could grab good benches on the night ferry to Santorini.
We slept on the benches until about 3 am, and then decided it was too cold and wet, so we picked out a good spot in the hallway and passed out. What can we say? Sleeping in luxury will just do that to you sometimes.
Around 8 am, we arrived at the port in Santorini. You would not believe the deep blue of the water as your boat docks at shore. We were so excited!
