Travel and Day 1 in Athens

8-18-2009

Our plane left early Tuesday morning and we had to fly from Prague to London and London to Athens. Good news was we both got stamps in our passport for London and Athens! We flew safe and slept most of the way.

In Athens we are couch surfing with Dimitrius Tol and we are sharing his "couch" with two other travelers. Dimitrius and the Australian couch surfer at the apartment have both been to Moscow and LOVE the city and the country. Hearing this made me more excited about my approaching trip, especially because I learned that day that I would be sharing a room in my dorm instead of my own personal room as I'd requested.

After chatting on Dimitrius's beautiful balcony, Tess and I slept outside on lawn chairs. They were surprisingly comfortable and it was very nice to wake up to a breeze and the rising sun. From Dimitrius's balcony we can see the Acropolis which amazes me everytime.
