Ithaca 1998

Christian 5.8.98

Arriving at Vathi

Day 40 - Today we went to the airport at 5 in the morning to go to Athens.  When we got to Athens we met my Great Grandma and stayed at the same hotel as before.  We went up to the pool for the afternoon. 
Day 41 - We caught a ship at 12.30 from Patras to Ithaca.  On the ship there are games that were all broken and pretty dumb.  we're going to go to two islands because people are getting off at the first island called Kefalonia.  Then we went to Ithaca to stay in our house.  Ithaca is very stoney and there are four very small and very close to each other villages.  There is an old saying that says; "when god made the world he threw all the stones on Ithaca", thats how rocky it is.

Day 40 - We went to the airport really early in the morning and we went to Athens on a jet, just as I tried to sleep we landed.  When we got to Athens we had to get a new battery for the car and we went and got our Great Grandma.  For tea we had fish and salad on the beach.

Cafe at Stavro

Day 41 - Today we drove to Patras and on the way we stopped at McDonalds and had something to eat.  When we got to the boat we went on an escalator to the seats and it had games but they weren't really good.  The seats were nice.  On the way to Patras we went to the Corinth Canal.  The boat was air-conditioned but everybody was sweating.  We came to the port of Vathi, we got off and drove to Platrithias.  We went to our villa and on the way we stopped at Stavro and bought some food.
