Setting sail from Piraeus, Greece

---

It was simple getting from Tirana down to Athens by plane and we had chosen a hotel we knew so we slipped easily back into town. Obviously we were quite busy on the blog today but that will be the last for a while as we sail tonight. This one comes from my Blackberry from Piraeus dock, where this cabin is moving!

There were two definite highlights of the quick visit to Athens, the first being the New Acropolis museum. This is a spectacular setting for presentation of a stunning array of artifacts and they have done a great deal
To make the story of the great artwork accessible to everyone. It was a wet day so this was also a convenient place to spend the day. The other highlight was a demo just outside our hotel complete with
burning car bodies, battalions of police, and firearm action. Something of a relief to be moving on this time.

Obviously the other highlight has been boarding Star Clipper. We Are really happy with our cabin for the next 25 nights on route to Goa. We set sail at 2145 tonight and we recall from last time an unforgettable
View of the Acropolis lit up as we go. We'll try to update this from the key Ports - but with only so much diligence 😊
