Purple Roofs is happy to welcome back an old friend. Last time, Mike regaled us with tales of his trip through South America. This time, he brings us details from his two month trip from Greece to Singapore. Enjoy!
ATHENS:
This city was my first stop for three day visit before boarding the cruise ship. I left home for San Francisco airport noon Fri 23 OCT and arrived Athens 7:30pm Sat 24 OCT for the beginning of this two month journey.
The Lufthansa check-in lady suggested I also check my handbag in addition to my one roller bag so that I could travel hands-free. So I hesitantly handed her the small leather handbag to check with my one suitcase, as she said, two bags can be checked for free. The flight was smooth including meals and drinks, only a minor irritation of many hours delay of the connecting flight in Frankfurt due to bad weather in Germany.
