Leaving Paros

The weather on the last day was horrible. We woke up to wind storms and rain and just plain miserable-ness. And it was horribly cold! We had some breakfast at the hotel and got on our 4-wheeler to explore some more. It was way too cold to drive around for long so we stopped at a coffee shop to drink some hot chocolate.


After we returned the 4-wheeler we went back to the hotel to get dressed for the ferry. We had to return the bike at 2:30, had already checked out at 12 and had to wait till 7 to board the ferry. We changed in the hall way where our bags were and finally caught a lift to the port. We anxiously waited in the freezing wind to board the ferry.


The ferry ride to Athens took 4 hours and was a bit bumpy, but luckily we were sleepy and had lots of things to keep us busy with.

We arrived just past 11 in Piraeus, Athens and took the Metro to Syntagma Square. We went to the hostel we stayed the previous time and when we got there they were fully booked. The had two beds left in the basement - which wasn't even a room. When we got down there, there was only 1 bed available and the other 10 beds were taken by creepy guys, so we turned around then and there and went to a hotel.

The hotel was really nice (5 star mind you). We ordered room service and breakfast in bed for the next day.
