25th June-
Slept so well and enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace admiring the view. Packed up, Checked out ( had an interesting talk with the owner about genetic mutations and evolution... Was random but his English is very good and he is a bit of philosopher) walked down into town and was able to get a bus to Trikala and then straight onto Athens. The bus to Trikala took a slightly different route than the one two days early making more stops and passing through more towns. Was nice to have look at more of the greek countryside.
Stopped briefly at the Trikala terminal before continuing onto athens. The bus is slightly fuller then the one out of Athens.... But still with lots of old ladies. They are so cute with there hair tied up in scarfs and traveling clothes on.
Stopes for lunch about half way to Athens. After travelling around turkey have defiantly had enough of truck stop food. Back on the bus and I fell asleep again. I am trying not to sleep so much on the bus, I want to look out the window at the different countryside I am travelling through but something about the gentle movement and post lunch just put me to sleep. Passed by paddocks that were covered in solar panel. At first I wasn't sure what it was in the paddock but then the road turned we moved closer to see the hundreds of solar panels. It was great to see such green environmental energy choices in use.
Arrived back at the Liosion bus station and got a taxi to the novus city hotel to collect my bag that I had left in storage there and then took the metro to the Hermes hotel which is where we start our contiki tour. Checked in and meet my new roomie Katherine from new York. Took some time to put my bags back in order and put some stuff in storage at this hotel as it is only a short tour inland. We meet at 7pm and there are around 30 people on the tour with 5 guys and the rest girls. It is a broad mix of people from all over the world. After the meeting there was the choice of going for a dinner and dancing show. Decided not to go as had already seen it with the topdeck group. Headed inside to plaka and found a nice tavern. Made a new Canadian friend to enjoy my meal with. Headed back to the hotel not too late as have an early start tomorrow.
