Almost Home

 Sitting in the Toronto airport having flown here from Athens today. We are waiting for our flight to Boston. We wish that Road Scholar had booked us directly from Boston to Athens and return. Discovered there was such a flight when we met a couple from Boston on this trip. I don’t know why I didn’t make that query when Road Scholar booked our flight. I’ll know if there’s ever a next time. 

Since my last Postcard we have seen some awesome ancient sites. Here is a just a teaser or two. 

Akrotiri on Thera also known as Santorini

In Turkey there was Ephesus

In Kos we visited an ancient hospital, Asklepios

Much more to come in weeks ahead. 

Postcard from Syros Island

Our first island stop. Rough seas delayed our departure from Athens and itinerary had to be changed. 

We had a wonderful walking tour at 9 am Sunday. We joined two other couples for lunch at a nice restaurant we found. 

Many more photos once I return home.

We were told that wifi from Greece while we are on a ship may be spotty.  So if there have been no Postcards from Greece it's because of the wifi issue.

Flowers and Cats Postcard

 

Love this rock garden at Poseidon’s Temple.

Cats are everywhere. 

In other news sea has been too high for us to go to first stop. Itinerary changed and first island dropped. Now plan is to sail Saturday evening for Ephesus, Turkey

Winds are at 35 mph.
