To be perfectly honest, I don't think any of us remember much about this day. It seemed like such a good idea to save the last day for shopping and not have any plans. I guess it was...we probably weren't capable of much.
As we did everyday...we got up and went down to a breakfast buffet at the hotel. It was simple, but somehow perfect. How can you go wrong with yogurt, honey, fruit, a little pastry, a boiled egg, and of course, coffee.
We walked the few blocks to take the tram into Athens for shopping at Plaka. We took the tram to Syntagma Square and then walked to Plaka. We managed to get a few gifts but our hearts were no longer in it. We spent nearly an hour in a leather shop trying to pick leather bags for the girls. We couldn't even make that decision! Well, we did, but it took almost an hour!!
We ate lunch and then took the tram back to Glyphada.
We needed some internet so we went to Starbucks where we knew we could get internet (Elena’s ticket was messed up, thanks to my error, and we had to get a new one. Also, we needed to check emails about the funeral plans.)
It was pretty late (but normal dinner time in Greece!) and we walked around looking to find a restaurant for dinner—checking menus—and finally ended up at “Georges and Zachs”.
One more amazing meal before leaving Greece. The waiter let us go back and pick our food...they didn't have all the menu items left! There was a large group of some sort, so we figured maybe they had eaten all the food!!
This group provided us entertainment....it was two long tables full of Greeks celebrating something...They were singing and having a grand time. Should have taken a video but we were really kind of out of it.
I don't think we were rushed through any of our meals in Greece. This night was no exception. We really just wanted to sit around and stare into space! What better place to do that than in Greece!
Finally, we went back to the hotel to pack, check emails, talk to Amelia, sleep a little.
