So it wasn't until we were in Rome, that we decided how the heck we were going to get to Athens. Everything was pretty last minute, however we booked our flight OUT of Athens and back to Toronto, Canada already... so all we knew was that we HAD to be there.
We managed to book a flight from Rome to Athens yesterday, and flew here today. However... we did not realize that there was a transportation strike in Athens at the time :S So... not only was our flight out of Rome delayed two hours on the runway, but now that we are finally here at the Airport in Greece, we have no way of getting to Athens until 6am tomorrow morning when the shuttle train starts up again.
You might think that this would be annoying, or upsetting, but I'm actually kind of enjoying it. Everyone here is stuck, and all the travelers have either pitched tents over chairs using sheets and sleeping bags... or (if you're like me)... have claimed a corner to myself with some great shelter and my pillow (backpack lol.) I got a few hours of sleep already in my sleep sheet under the telephones, however the one thing they don't have in the airport lounge is a "lights out option".
Oh... and I also washed my hair in the airport sink... now THAT was an experience lol. I think today may be the day that I became a traveler! I'll write again soon.
