This was by far our most disastrous journey so far. Dad decided to take the overnight train from Thessaloniki to Athens. When I reserved the tickets the lady said: no sleeper compartment! I should have got the message then, but decided the train won't be full! Oh my...
We met Helen or rather Eleni at the station and she shared delicious Turkish delight with us.
The train was so full and we were packed in like sardines, dad and mom invented a new Kama sutra position. People were stacked in the passages and everyone was fighting for a seat.
At 5 am we arrived in Athens, not a moment to soon! We took a taxi to the Hermes hotel, sister of the Plaka hotel, and uttered a sigh of relief to get a lovely room at 6 am in the morning.
We all got straight into bed. Mom and I slept till 12 noon, dad took to the streets and bought bubble wrap for my two statues. When he came back he slept till 4 pm.
Tonight we went to find a shop were mom bought a lovely plate painted with pomegranates. We had supper at "Glimlag", our favourite Greek that speaks so many languages. He remembered us from 6 weeks ago and spoke perfect Afrikaans to us.
Well done for surviving it Anni! Must feel like coming home to be back in the same city again after all your travels. Love the pomegranate bowl your mum bought.
