3.15am start today, leaving for airport at 4am. At 5.30am, whilst sat on a plane looking at the moon out of the porthole window I wondered whether I had lost my mind.
Had a short flight to Amsterdam before boarding plane headed for Athens. Flight was okay as I had about 7 magazines from the guy on the earlier flight who had bought them for his friend in paris who wanted English mags but his flight to France had been cancelled. Bonus. (for me, not really for him)
Thought all was going well until my bag didn't appear on the conveyor belt after alighting the plane. Everyone who had a connecting flight was missing their bag. After about an hour and a half I managed to report my bag and was told it would be at my hotel the next morning.
I took a bus and a metro to the hotel. Athens seems nice so far, lots of people bustling about. Hotel is really funky too, reception desk is a mini cooper with top cut off. Room mate is nice too, and chatted before going to meet the rest of the group.
There's about 15 of us in total (only 1 guy) and tonight we just got given info about the trip. Proper meal and induction is tomorrow. After intro, went with roomy (can't remember her name) to the main street by our hotel, which is where the acropolis is. Walked around and browsed in some of the shops before grabbing food (which was super) and heading back to hotel. Met another girl which had arrived late and might be going for drinks later. Was going to go pool but closed - no clothes to swim in anyway!
