Tuesday, December 3/2013


Temperature plunge - yes, I know, not by Canadian standards.but about 10 degrees when we get up and very strong winds. Much warmer than we remember it 10? years ago, though, when it kept snowing and we decided it was time to go to Cyprus. Tomorrow to Crete. We buy the tickets at the metro station from the machine. It has both Greek and English instructions. The seniors' tickets are half price but you're warned to carry ID. Actually, there are few checks on the Greek metro and there is no difficulty in boarding without a ticket, but there are spot checks and apparently major fines for fare evasion.
