Travel day

Today’s blog will be a lot shorter than the last few as it was all travel

We walked from our hotel to the airport, amidst the flocks of people and rows of checkin spots we finally found our airline check in and checked our bags. Clearing security went well, so we ended up with an hour and a half before boarding. There were only a couple of things we were looking for in Italy. In Florence it was the leather they are famous for and a something from the goldsmiths which they were also know for.

In Naples, we’ll really nothing there, but seeing the museum

In Amalfi, just something to remind us, we got consumables ship to our home. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar 

The one thing we had not found to Dale’s taste were shirts. We check several places for some nice Italian  made shirts

Guess what we found walking to our gate 

A shop with shirts made in Milan

Dale found a couple he liked and they were added to our carry-ones, lucky he had room!

Then a mini museum down the hall as we walked to our gate

These are original old works of art

There were several all in a row

Dale said I should send this one to my brothers that were wrestlers 

Lovely piece of an old painting 

Waiting for the plane

Taxi ride to our hotel in Athens from the airport

When we went through town, it looked a lot like any other city. I just could not even guess at the signage 

Everything was pretty much Greek to me. I know a few Greek letters, but that is pretty much from my college day and a game I play that likes to have you search for Greek letters

Tagging looks the same world wide. I think it is a shame others mark what is not their stuff 

We have a balcony at our hotel room. 

These are the views from it at sunset tonight. It is strange since we left Amalfi the trip has kinda gone a bit flat. Hopefully the cruise will help bring some of the fun and adventure back. It is warmer here than the last few days of the trip have been. I got out some short sleeve tops again.
