Ciao Italia!
Γεια σας Ελλάδα
Geia sas, Greece!
Hello Greece!
Today we part ways with our travel partner of two weeks, Jude. It seems much longer as our quarters have been tight and stomachs have been hungry.
Last looks and subversive insults from the operator of the Residenzia Camilla Apartments.
Jump on for one more free bus ride to the Tiburtina train station. From there to Roma Termini station, the main hub of the city. Jude needs to purchase a ticket to Austria and we must arrange for a flight to Athens, Greece.
The enormous station has even bigger lines so we tag-team: Jude sits with the bags while we take at least an hour to purchase the next transport. Then it is Jude's turn in a different queue. His time is more substantial at over two hours.
In the end, Jude's dirty laundry had been stolen by international bag thieves, and we all had been taken for a ride for tickets to our next destinations.
After a quick stop at a cyber cafe for room reservations, we order some food and beers to enjoy our last few hours together.
Time for our departure times roll around, and instead of goodbyes, we declare to meet again soon.
We lurch forward through the city and into the country side to the Leonardo da Vinci Airport.
Check our bags and board the evening plane with duty-free chocolate and rum.
Land in Athens, the infamous ancient inspiration to Western civilization.
Too dark to see the new sights and trains into the city does not run for 6 hours so we settle into cafe seats to be bombarded by low-budget Greek MTV.
