The country's best ruins on the agenda

 05-31-21, Monday The Chamber of Commerce here must have a lot of pull with the weather gods!  It's always spectacular outside!  Breakfast is from 7:00 to 10:00 so we probably can make that! The breakfast buffet is even more sumptuous than at the Frangiorgio!  But this is a larger, four-star hotel with three swimming pools, a spa and work out facilities, and a full restaurant!  I never thought of smoked mackerel for breakfast, but it's way better than bacon!  I'm starving by nine, so Ammar sends me on ahead while he has his first cup of wake-up juice.  When you check in with the hostess you receive a pair of plastic gloves to wear as you go through the buffet's several stations.  I think you're supposed to keep them, because the sign on the elevator reminds you to wear your mask and gloves! After breakfast we go down to the -0 floor and make reservations for aromatherapy full-body massages for this afternoon!   They made up our bed while...

The Endless Day

 06-06-21, Sunday I can't believe it's already our last day!  I have to leave for the airport around 1:30 tomorrow morning, so there's really no point in going to bed.  We go to breakfast earlier than usual and when we come back I start to wrestle with the Greek locator form again.  Ammar suggests that I try it on my phone.  That makes no sense to me, but, wouldn't you know it?  It works! There are some glitches due to a lack of logic on the designer's part and I get some help dealing with those, and pretty soon I get a confirmation email!  I'll get the ever popular QR code at midnight. The recessed lighting in our suite is all this delicious shade of blue. The next fun project is getting everything in our suitcases! That is a little easier than it might have been because Ammar's find at the charity shop is really quite spacious! We're about as organized as we can be at this point, so yay for us! Time to get out of the room and enjoy the great outdoors...

Going Home - Final post

Image
 06-07-21, Monday I suppose this should really have started with the end of the last post, but c'est la vie!  The flight from Larnaca to Athens is only about an hour and forty-five minutes and the middle seat in my row is empty. Yay!  And they fed us a literal brown-bag meal!  It was a little ham and cheese sandwich, a chocolate and carob filled biscuit, and a bottle of water.  And when they had collected the trash they brought around other beverages - coffee, orange juice, apple juice! That almost makes up for the lack of organization apparent in the Athens airport!  It's a good thing I've got five hours to figure out where I belong!  The first departure signs don't go far enough into the day and it appears that there are two terminals according to the signs;  but the first man I ask assures me, "No B, no B!!"  Okay, whatever!  Then there's the man checking papers and he doesn't care about my QR code or my test and he points me toward p...
