I was sooooo glad to get the hell out of London. Just wasn't doing it for me this time. The fact that I slept 16 hours the first night and zero the second didn't make it any easier.
Met back up with my aunt and cousins at Gatwick and we arrived last night in Athens.. easyJet was ok (only cost 45 pounds!).. was able to hitch a ride with the transfer my aunt had booked (not staying with them, can't afford their posh hotel!). Dropped into my hostel which is right in the middle of the Plaka in Athens.. the Acropolis is quite visible from outside my accommodation. We are going to check it out tomorrow.
Today we took the fast ferry over to the island of Hydra, which was FANTASTIC. Totally different than the crazy dirty enormous Athens.. no motorized traffic on this particular island, just donkeys to get around. Not for those with mobility challenges! Lots of steep staircases between the beautiful white buildings that the Greek islands are known for. Feral cats everywhere.. I couldn't resist petting them!
After a lovely afternoon we had a very bumpy ferry ride back and arrived at the port in the pouring rain... completely unprepared.
Off to bed with me!
Looks like getting photos on this blog will be a challenge.. my camera does RAW files which are too big to upload.. I promise you will see my photos by 2015! LOL
Peace out.. love u all xo

WOW! I got to see the photos of Hydra and I felt like I was back in "Mamma Mia!" the movie again. :-)
It sure sounds like a great time. Glad to discover your blog.
