Quote of the day: “Yogurt on the side, sir? Would you like that on the left side or the right side, sir?” Waiter at breakfast this morning.
Stress, stress for those who are into stress. The itinerary for the next five days has been changed. Apparently there is going to be a general strike in Greece on Friday, the day we are due to be there. All the sights will be closed, public transport won’t be running, and there is a possible security risk.
So instead of doing Kusadasi (Fri 25) – Istanbul (Sat 26) – ANZAC Cove (Sun 27) – Santorini (Mon 28) – Athens (Tue 29), we are now doing Athens (Fri 25) – Kusadasi (Sat 26) – Istanbul (Sun 27) – ANZAC Cove (Mon 28) – Santorini (Tue 29). There are a few port time changes as well, but none of this will affect us. It’s another reason though to think twice about booking private tours in advance, especially if paying up front. There’s always the chance that things could change prior to arriving in port.
Busy sea day today. I didn’t have time to post the blog last night, and the internet has been in high demand all day today, so I wasn’t able to connect. Second high demand area today is the laundry, so good job we’re not desperate to get the washing done…
Just one peeve about the trip so far: at breakfast we keep getting stuck on tables with recently retired, miserable Aussie blowhard males, who spend the entire time whinging about everything under the sun. Get a life, guys. You are so lucky to be able to do a wonderful trip like this, so just enjoy it! And stop souring my breakfasts…
