All Aboard for The Plaka!

Ken negotiates for transportation.

On the evening before we boarded our Seabourn cruise ship, Ken and I arranged for a special Greek dinner in Athens in the Plaka with transportation included.  Instead of stretch limos or even taxi cabs, Ken struck a deal with the owner of the Sunshine Express people-mover train to pick us up at the elegant Hotel Grand Bretagne.

Reb rescues Ken

Not all of our cruise friends had yet arrived in Athens, but we did set out for dinner with 16 of the group in tow.  All were surprised to see the impressive transportation!  Somehow Ken got left behind and Rebecka Milne helped rescue him across several lanes of traffic.



We took the train to the Plaka and enjoyed multiple courses of delicious traditional Greek food.  Again my favorite was the Greek Salad though the Moussaka was the best I have tasted.  We toasted our upcoming cruise with many bottles of Greek wine and ended the evening with a small glass of retsina.  Yiamas!!
