EEK!!

Okay so I would not recommend sleeping in an airport. Did you know that flights come and go ALL night long and that announcements (LOUD announcements) go ALL night long as well? Yep well apparently they do. Also airports don't have comfy beds or pillows...the floor is very hard! Hehe, it was an experience!!

Our flight from Rome to Athens was only 2 hours but because we got to Athens so late (about 1am) we decided it wasn't worth paying for a bed. So we rolled out our sleeping bags, blew up our pillows and camped on the cold tiled floor outside the entrance to the airport chapel. We definitly weren't alone either...people were asleep in every nook and cranny of the airport! Crazy and cool. The sleep was awkard and harldy adequate and we got a friendly wakeup call (kick) from the security guard at 6am.

So we ended up in Athens the city at about 8am, went to the Acropolis early and also visited the shrine of Zues.

Tonight we will surely have another lovely sleep when we have an overnight ferry to Santorini, go the cheapest seats, or rather the deck and no seat! Wish us luck.
