Last night was a nightmare. The hussies from across the hall kept playing loud rap music and shouting (after we went to bed) and then our Indian next door neighbours began testing out some snare drums they bought. Darryn had to get up and call reception and after fifteen minutes someone finally came down to check it out. The noise got lower but not completely and we both had a troubled sleep.
We woke up at 5am and had breakfast and cleared our room, and for what? It took the ship an extra hour and a half to dock and for all our passports to be checked, while we waited in the lounge like idiots. We finally got off the ship and were transported back to our Athens hotel. We had about three hours to waste before our bus to the airport so we walked around and did some shopping - Darryn bought a really cool bread knife set and I got a lip phone. Then we had ice cream and baklava and went back to the hotel to watch some TV on the laptop and wait for our transfers.
All clear at the airport - except for the lady at the security taking like half my stuff due to bogus regulations - and then on to Romania. Flight went through Sofia as well so it was delayed by about an hour but we finally got there and Bunu and Buna were waiting for us. They seem to take a liking to Darryn right away and he to them (which I was more worried about) and it was off home. It was great to see home again and we got settled in after a huge meal. Darryn loved Buna's cooking and that made everyone happy. We slept on that ridiculously uncomfortable and hot couch in the loungeroom but soon decided to split, with Darryn generously offering to take the floor (well, I may have told him to, but let's not dwell on minor details).
