Greece-memory (6)

Return to Athens

October 1st, we will stay at the Santorini finally coming, and then by boat to return to Athens, then end of our honeymoon Greece this time.

In the afternoon and the boat, we again truly feel a slow rhythm of Greece. Tickets on obviously written 15: 30 from the ship, but almost 16: 00, and on the port to connect our BlueStar cruise has just finished, then began to unload it. Only one card front very skillfully into the cabin, and later on from within the drag-and-a-car cargo to left, and even entire a tourist bus from the inside out, the car full of tourists. And so finally finished discharging, and began to ship loading. The land of the truck more cattle, rear towing big containers, directly into the cabin, and bald with body came out. Really admire Greece's fixed force: seeing the clock began to point to 16 points, cruise on electronic information signs still firmly displayed at "15: 30 distribution ship." So toss after the 16 points, we finally take BlueStar set sail from Santorini sailing 9 hours return to Athens.

In the last ship to write an article yesterday travel diary, PP is reading Taiwan photographer Justin wrote "I heart left in the Aegean".

Cut, Greece jump towards the end of the island, he would look at this book. The book is a good read from beginning to end it twice. PP said this is a book I poisoning. Careful thought is that since they have the idea of traveling Greece, PP in "when when" online bought two books to me, as a result. After reading this book, beginning in online to find Raiders. I was reading other people's self-service travel gonglue to Greece, very helpful, but also a lot of effort and costs. Taiwan writer Justin said "I heart left in the Aegean Sea," but I deeply feel the "Aegean will remain in my heart". To Greece tourism, is the natural beauty of a witness and comprehension. Several years later, when we read this passage seen these photos, I hope we still burning in the ...

Wait to Athens, is a bit much.

In fact, I have already booked to the Student at the Inn, but we don't really have the strength to go back to the Plaka, simply gave a deposit in the Terminal for a hotel stay.

The next day, sleep a little, we once again gelanjue, with still gloomy weather, i.e. to the 2004 Athens Olympic Stadium.

Venue's location is very far from Pier — that is, the departure station — began to take the subway, sat for almost an hour, almost always sit on the other end is reached. From the Metro, found here is the edge of the city of Athens, sparsely populated areas. Side have looks like Park place, there are few young people play, see we are also excited about surprisely "Chinese", a find before know that is the University. Taking the subway to boundaries, on the other side is the 2004 Athens Olympic Games competition venues district. How to say it, it is contrary to our expectations: thought jam-packed place, actually rare to see a few tourists, those days Beijing bird's nest there, just two extremes. We at the door as a phase, PP to the guard there and asked for a sentence: "Ticket?", the result is that the answer is "No ticket." , Halo. We in it probably go a bit came out, in addition to the above-ground litter, quiet pool, and looks is a team of people that listen to the coach as there are several people, with an open-air swimming pool for a personal tour of swimming, give us the impression of only that kind of depressed mood.

Back to the pier before we arrived to live in Plaka go a bit, a shop, we went to dinner, said his family what language the menu will have to know that we are Chinese, really brought out a Chinese menu.

We find interesting, so we ate at this. In fact, Chinese are not useful, because there is a direct transliteration, read the Chinese do not know what, but at least price marked, than we have eaten in a continuous text menus are not Greece store strong (although no menu, but delicious). After a sell souvenirs shop, the shop owner suddenly ran out, ask us: "Chinese?" we answered Yes, so he hurried told us to wait, that was a question to ask, then turn around and run back to the shop. We also wondered what I thought he was going to engage in marketing, this guy with a small box to eat is back, asked us that this is something that a friend gave him a very delicious. PP look, red Bayberry. But we don't know how to say the English Red Bayberry, had to teach him speak Chinese, he "Mei Mei", to repeat several times. Unfortunately we didn't remember the shop, and so round back then trying to find, but can not find. This time around in Athens, also fell street gang in the prepare parades, slogans, police ... Later I heard that Greece's top rally, now see Greece riots, wringing their hands over, cannot help but also reminiscent of the matter.

(The restaurant)

Get on the subway and returns terminals, has been in the evening.

We went to a big shopping mall next to shop around a bit. This is a specialized sell children's products in the supermarket, the entire three-storey Mall, all children's products, from baby cute small shoe, the variety of stationery. We found that all the goods are printed on the label "Made in China" by the words, it seems that China is indeed a real world factory. I'm with PP, if one is not found, Made in China that I'll buy it, but until you have finished shopping or buy. Came out and saw a man with his five-year-old son.The little guys cry again, it is estimated that in the Mall are only after something but Dad not to buy it, just squatted on the floor does not go. One man is really no way, directly to the crying with son on his shoulders, was to the street to son directly plug into the car. We thought that the original world of parents and children are almost, huh, huh.

In Santorini, PP has heard of Chinese tourists discuss next to that kind of food is very delicious, MOUSAKA, just next to store a map and name, he remembers.

It's not that we it out from the shopping centre, also did not eat dinner at the roadside a shop to sit down. PP up just point a MOUSAKA. This thing is really delicious: looks like a piece of cake, eggplant, meat, and so on, but I think too of gas. Eating something already 9 pm, and sleepy and spent, so back to the hotel to sleep. The next morning to get up to 4: 30 into the street to catch the bus to go straight to the airport.

This time the trip to Greece, only some, unfortunately, is not focused on the Athens, Athens, lessons, some of the monuments, museums have not visited.

I hope I will also have the opportunity to go to Athens, they make up for it.

Closing remarks

2008 years October 2, 9 a.m., we take a local Olympia Airlines flights from Athens and from Germany Frankfurt turn back to Beijing.

When the plane crashed into the sky, I watched the tilt of the Earth, my thoughts like Athens returned a week ago.

Greece — it's hard to say goodbye, in return for a few weeks, months or even next time we talk about everything there.
