Greece Trip Day # 1

Vicky and I woke up early to head to Greece. We had to catch a metro to Termini and then a train to the airport. We made it to the train station with only 4 mintues til boarding! We ran to the platform that was only about 50 meters away, only to realize that our train left from platfrom #25, that was 400 meters way!! We started sprinting with all of our bags down this huge walkway and everyone was looking at us like we were crazy, we finally got to the door of the train, and he says to us "No, we are leaving" and said "but we are here" and he said "No" wtf?

So we were good and out of breath and decided to wait for the next train that would be in 20 min.

We finally made it to the airport and checked in, a quick hop across the Ionian sea, and we were in ATHENS!! We took a bus to the "City Center" called Syntagma and met up with the rest of the crew: Arianna, Renee, Jack, Toven, Alex, and Jackson.
It was so great to see everyone, even though it had only been a day.




Just in Athens :)




First thing we did was of course eat. We went and got Greek Gyro (pronounced "yerr-oh"). BEST INVENTION EVER!!! Warm pita, hot gyro, fresh tomato and onion, french fries, and tatziki sauce, all for 2 euro!!! I was in heaven!

After eating and meeting the others it was time for us to head over to the port to catch our ferry to SANTORINI!!!
