Olympic Marina - Lavrion

Arrived at Athens airport at 8 p.m. Greek time on Wednesday evening and spent the night in the Sofiitel Hotel 50 metres from the exit door of the terminal. It was actually very nice and much better than the last hotel we stayed in before we returned home in June - which wasnt difficult - and possibly the best buffet breakfast I have seen anywhere.  We had the 'express' breakfast which meant orange juice, some bread and croissants and coffee so a little wasted on us.

 

Sequel  back in the water by 11.30 a.m. yesterday  and all appears to be well  so far. Except while we are sitting here relaxing waiting for Matt & Heather to arrive in just over an  hour the wind is already on its way to being a force 5 and is forecast for 6 to 7 near gale, possibly 8 over the weekend and lasting for almost all of next week.  We may have to hire a car and go sightseeing - at least we will have Matt here to organise us otherwise we would probably sit here doing nothing until it stops blowing.  It is still hot and sunny though. Feel  really disappointed for M&H as we had such great plans for all the small islands in between here and Mykonos.  

 

We stocked up on food this morning all the same and went to Effie's very own shop - MyMarket. So  we can always just enjoy the warm sunshine and eat lots.
