We took a taxi from Athens to Piraeus all pumped up about our ferry ride to Santorini. When we got to the ferry we learned that the public transportation strike now also kept the ferries from leaving. It took the better part of the morning to figure things out. During the confusion and information gathering we hooked up with some other travellers from Australia and the US. We did a little exploring of Priaeus, which must be one of the worst places in Greece to spend a day. We walked some streets in town we wished we hadn’t entered. One block was just full with drunks and addicts.
In the evening we got some food and Ouzo and had a little party. So at the end of the day we didn’t spent the day in the vacation paradise we were aiming for, but made a memorable experience out of it (with some positive memories).
The next day we got on the ferry and arrived in Santorini, but more about that later as my access timer in this cafe is running out and I’m out of coins.
