Well,sure enough at 630, the One day cruise company picked us up from our hotel lobby and drove us to an alternative port to load a giant cruiseboat to three islands--piro, hydras and agina (I THINK). We had fifty minutes on Piro to shop the shops. an hour and a half on hydras and then when we arrived to Aegina--we opted for the 20 euro private boat to the beach on a private island to play on the beach for 2 hours. We met ourselves a seattle boy who was traveling alone. The view of the islands was gorgeous!! (Again my netbook is not connecting to the shotty wireless here...) Although the islands are not mykanos, they came in a close second. Meanwhile--i'm not sure if you've checked the news--but riots broke out by Parliament today complete with tear gas, rock throwing, window breaking and fires. We were FAR from here. I guess the air traffic controllers walked out for awhile and the metro stopped running for a bit. Tonight we got an extension at our hostel until tomorrow then we go to Pireaus (the port) for a night (which we were supposed to be getting in from mykanos) before flying out to Berlin thursday. We havent heard from pol yet, a little worried the riots may have gotten the best of him, but he said we may go to a beach tomorrow. we will see! After the cruise we were exhausted and sunburned and decided it best to stay in order delivery and take it easy. Which is exactly what we did :-) Again-- more pictures hopefully to come later
