Greece!

So quick update from us courtesy of BabyMac and the free wireless of the Thessaloniki airport.

Yesterday, we caught a bus to "Solon" by a tree. Uh huh...not at a bus stop, but rather, a tree on the side of the road. The bus was 20 minutes late and we freaked out a little thinking that this whole "travel cheap by a tree" thing wasn't going to pan out. However...a bus finally stopped, we got on and for 33 leva each were on our way to Greece.

At the border Nathan and I had to go through two checkpoints (one for Greece and one for the EU). We finally got to Greece around 10:30 pm and got on public transit to get to our hotel. We made a fun new Greek friend who even bought us our tickets!

Our hotel was a block from the beach, but we had no time for fun. We were totally exhausted and, unfortunately, had a terrible night's sleep. Seriously. Hotels are not so swanky here.

So after rising with the sun (I mean, Nathan woke up at 7:30 am--that's bad sleep), we caught a taxi to the airport where I realized we had left BabyMac's charger in the hotel room. So 2 taxi rides later we show up at the airport (again), get our tickets, go through the shortest and fastest security line of my life and have a delicious breakfast of ham and cheese pie (Nathan) and tomato and feta bread roll (me).

And now we're waiting....almost to Rome...almost to Nice!

Can't wait to tell you what happens next!
