Europe Trip Journals Day 21: Cruise -> Greece
Day 21 July 8
Woke up on the ship, was actually able to sleep for a long time because of the total blackness in the room. Got up for a shitty breakfast and followed it up by buying ANOTHER breakfast of bacon and French toast which was pretty good. Better than the free stuff anyway. We cruised for a few hours (spent reading) till we arrived in Patras. From there we boarded a bus and made the long way to Poros. The drive was incredibly beautiful. The water was so blue, we drove through valleys and mountains and saw the most spectacular scenic views yet. When we arrived in Poros we checked in and immediately jumped into the ocean (the Aegean Sea was literally a 10 foot walk from out hotel door). Everyone swam and had a great time for about an hour. The water was completely clear and blue, with only a bit if algae at the bottom. After dinner people swam some more and some started partying that night. I went to my room where (unknowingly and unintentionally) I finished another book by 2:30 am. That's number four for the trip. Also had free Internet, which meant I was able to chat and go online all I wanted, as long as I was in the lobby.
