Day 10

 We arrived late last night in Piraeus, Greece just before the port was closed due to a strike that I mentioned earlier.   We will leave at midnight for a day at sea and our final destination, Istanbul.

As there is nothing to do in this port, we took a ships shuttle to Athens and the Planka area were all of the restaurants and shops are.

We spent a few hours there wandering about and then had a lunch at, of course, a Greek restaurant.

After that we returned to the ship via the shuttle and darn it was nice out but no sun.

So, we went to the lounge and had drinks and a snack before going back to the cabin to get ready for dinner and the show.

                 The tray from the Pool Deck was too heavy so the Butler brought it to the room!  

                 Now that's being spoiled!!

                                              Out for the evening

Lunch is the Plaka section of Athens

                                    Part of White NIght in the main atrium

The show tonight was a dance production number and a cross between Africa and Irish.

Can't explain it, you had to see it but it was fun.

Then we had dinner which as usual was very good.

After dinner, since we are in port, the casino was closed so we watched the dancing in the Atrium until Midnight.

Night - on our way to Istanbul
