We flew from Tel Aviv in the middle of the night and arrived in Athens, Greece early in the morning on Thursday. Sunny and warm with clear blue skies! Wanted to hop on a public bus into the city, but, guess what? They are on strike! No can do. A 30 minute taxi ride later and we were walking through the squares and streets looking for a place to stay. Our strategy worked this time. Got a super duper deal at the first hotel we walked into. It’s a great place, centrally located and has a killer roof-top garden with amazing views. Skip ahead… Our plan was to hop on a ferry tomorrow morning to Paros Island, but guess what? They are on strike. No problem. We’ll go to the Archeological Museum tomorrow instead of today. It’s free on Sundays. That saves us $50. Maybe that was part of the strategy?!  The strike will end sometime and then we’ll go. Or, who knows, maybe we’ll end up somewhere else entirely. The only other result of the political unrest that has affected us is the amount of political/slogan graffiti on the walls. Such a shame…unless of course it is done artistically and then it makes great pictures. Travel Tip #16: (You missed the ones in between since I’ve been kinda busy.) Have a no-stress strategy and absolutely no agenda. Oh wait, I think that was tip #2?
