Athens Day 2

After sleeping for 13 hours we got ready for an unplanned day. The news was filled with Greek bank closings and the troubles people in Athens faced($withdrawls were capped to 60euro a day) and the big decision to stay with the euro and be forced into compliance in a payment plan for their debt or return to Greece's own monetary amount. We decided to ride the train to Piraeus and see what kind of boat ride we could finagle. We found out when we went to the metro that the government had stopped charging fare. It had cost $6 euro to get to the hotel and now we wouldnt have to pay again for transportation anywhere. We arrived in Piraeus and eventually bought ferry tickets to Aegina. The ride was 45min each way. We were able to walk around the dock and beach areas of the island and have lunch before our return to Athens. Overall I think the islands

have more to see and do, we just didn't have that kind of timeline or enthusiasm left. Tomorrow we leave at 1pm to return to the states. It's time to come home(:
