We just realized that our last post from the 13th didn't get posted! Not sure what happened, but it is posted now and recaps our last nights in Paris, our time in Budapest as well as Prague.
Since then we have had quite a rough time trying to get to Greece. Thankfully, we are now in Athens, but it was about 3 awful days to get here. We are pretty sure we experienced one of the worst days we've ever spent together. It is a long story, but the gist of it is this:
- italian trains suck and we will never be convinced to use one again
- eating only pretzel sicks all day is not enough to sustain us.
- it's definitely worth it to just spend the extra money to fly places rather than trying to be cheap and get there the long way
- when the ticket agent says this way is "cheaper" - you might not get there at all.
- being stranded in a small italian town with no way to get home (as in the US) is frightening
- ferries from italy to greece are more like cruises - buy seats and do not sleep on deck (although we didn't)
Overall, we are now trying to enjoy Athens, but it is so stinking hot. Today we are going to the Acropolis and all the major ruins sights. We are pretty excited, because there are some amazing things to see. Hopefully, we'll post pictures later.
Tomorrow we head to one of the islands to relax and enjoy the water and the sun before we head to London and then home!!
We hope everyone is enjoying their summers and we are excited to get home and see you all.
