We're in Kalambaka, Greece now, after a hellish "day" of travel. Our flight left Newark at 6:30pm on Monday. We arrived in Athens around 1:30pm local time the next day. We immediatly hopped on a bus to bus terminal B in Athens, then got on another bus heading towards Kalambaka. The bus ride was a bit longer than we expected. We thought it was around 3 hours, but it turned out to be almost twice that. We found a hotel room, showered, changed, ate a good meal for the first time in a long time, and then went back and slept for 12 hours.
Today we're just walking around the area, scoping out other places to stay (we might camp, rather than stay in a hotel, to save some money), and checking out the rock climbing. We just purchased what appears to be the only guidebook to rock climbing in the area. They obviously know they have a monopoly because the book was 30 Euros...about $35.
It's very warm here--much warmer than expected. Comfortable for Jacqueline, too hot for me. I think it's in the mid-80s. Normal May temps are supposedly in the high 60s.
Ok, we're going to go wander around. Hopefully in the shade.
Cheers,
