May 4, Friday, we awoke and were now in
Piraeus/Athens port. This is Athens main
port and a very busy port.
A military
ship of some kind is moored next to us, USNS Trenton.

We along with 2 other
Canadian couples, Raed and Randa Youakim and Bruce and Penny MacDonald caught a Hop On/Hop Off
bus. The bus maneuvered through the city
streets to the area of the Acropolis where our traveling companions decided to
hop off.

Tom and I stayed on for a return
trip back to the port. This area is very
much like most cities- heavy traffic and dirty streets and high rise buildings
unlike the previous port areas.
After making our way through the duty free shop with a few items we grabbed a bite of lunch and ate out on the open deck. The afternoon was spent on our balcony-reading, resting and watching the comings and goings in the harbor. In the evening after dinner we enjoyed a Beatle show called “Just John and Paul” which was very entertaining.
