We watched excitedly as the huge ship came into the dock and laughed as the people came off like cattle at the auction. We started to wonder if our "berth" would be kind of like the cabins on the Hogwart's Express, just benches in a room where you could close the door.

We couldn't have been more wrong. We were thrilled when we saw the nice bunks and our own private bathroom.

Sally was a little worried about sinking, so she made sure she was prepared.

Then it was off through the public lounge area to the fabulous restaurant for a late night meal of veal and pasta (I guess the rabbit had worn off.)
Then off to bed where we let the gentle sway of the boat and the hum of the engine rock us to sleep.
Now, on the way back, we requested an outside berth because it would be daylight and we wanted to see outside. We laughed again because when we saw this room we realized the other room that had thrilled us so much was actually the slum section.

The seas were a little stormy and rough, but we both slept most of the way home. Well, except the time poor Sally spent throwing up. We think she got food posioning from the Gelato we ate in Athens. Luckily by the time we reached port she was feeling much better and very hungry.
