This is a postscript to the voyage, written in the Orpheous Lounge on Monday morning, overlooking Piraeus Harbour, awaiting the call for disembarkation, which, for us, won’t come until 3:15pm this afternoon. An hour’s bus ride to Athens airport will be followed by a further two hour wait for our British Airways flight which is due to leave at 6:30pm. It’s a four-hour flight; when the time is adjusted, however, it means that we’ll arrive in Heathrow Airport at around 8:30pm, UK time. It shouldn’t take more than about a half an hour to ride the Hoppa Bus back to the hotel where our car is waiting for us. A four and a half hour journey should bring us home at around 1:30am tomorrow morning. A long day, then.<\/p>\n
Barring any unforseen incidents, I expect this to be my final post until the next cruise assignment, which will be back on the Marco Polo next month, to the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n
