Across the beautiful blue sea to Greece

This was our ferry to Patras. It took on an enormous number of large lorries and some cars. Not a lot of foot passengers.   We had a large cabin  this time,  designed for 4 people so we didn't have to use bunk beds.  The bathroom was still tiny and you could  have sat on the loo to have a shower again.
(Sorry this is Sebastian information!)

The voyage took about 16 hours. We then had to catch a bus from the train station to another station to get to Athens. There's no money to upgrade the railways.  First impressions of Athens are how run down it is , with holes in the pavements and roads.  Poor old Greece.

There were loads of those long river cruise boats tied up. Unfortunately we didn't see the Roman History museum as its being refurbished.  And sorry Laurence we didnt have time for the art museum.
