Today the ship arrived in Piraeus quite early but it is
Greek Easter, so nothing was open. We
decided not to do much touring today, but instead to enjoy the comforts of the
ship and relax after the last few busy days.
We enjoyed a nice breakfast in the Lido deck and then
proceeded to go to a kitchen tour for the ship.
We learned that the kitchen prepares an average of 13,000 meals
daily. The average weekly consumption of
food includes 12,000 lbs of meat; 23,000 eggs; 1,600 lbs of butter, 8,000 lbs
of potatoes; 3,800 lbs chicken. Quite
the operation they have running here on the Eurodam!
Following the tour, we went onto the deck and found some
shade to lie in. We spent the next hour
and a half reading books and enjoying the warmth outside. Then it was back to the dining room for more
food—lunchtime!
Jessie and I spent the afternoon lounging by the pool,
getting to know one of the lead vocalists, Justin. And Hildy spent the afternoon doing her hair
and having some ‘me time’.
When we came down to the cabin to get her, Hildy was reading
a book in her curlers. We straightened
up her hair and then went out into port to walk around a bit. We had hopes of finding an internet café to
call home for Greek Easter, but everything was closed. The port was supposed to have free Wi-fi, but
we couldn’t connect.
We came back to the ship in time for dinner and enjoyed
another fabulous meal (they do spoil us).
Afterwards, we headed back to the port for another attempt to Skype with
the family for Greek Easter, but still we weren’t able to connect. After 30 minutes of trying to connect to the
internet, we headed back to the ship.
This is when an attendant at the port informed us that the internet is
down and will hopefully be fixed tomorrow… what luck! Oh well, it was worth a
try and hopefully we’ll get to hear all about the Easter festivities at the Nasiopoulos
house in a few days.
