A few pics, mostly of our cool hotel room, are HERE
7:30am 9/12 - sitting in one of the few adorable little sitting nooks in our Nafplio hotel room. We used credit card points and got a bit of an upgraded room. But more about that in a bit. Not much happened yesterday. We had breakfast at the hotel in Milos and checked out and the woman insisted on driving us to the port herself - well ok then!
Then, naturally, we waited much longer than we were supposed to and our 10:45am boat to arrive in Athens at 2 left at noon and arrived at 4. It was a nasty ride in parts and a lot of people got sick but I was wearing my sea bands and had taken my Bonine and was keeping my eyes closed so thankfully I made it through all the boats with no sickness!! Upon arrival in Athens we took a quick cab to the car rental office and picked up our ride for the week, a cute blue Opel Corsa, and set out for Nafplio, our first stop on the Peloponnese. It took just under 2 hours so through rolling green hills and by the time we found parking, it was about 7 when we got to the hotel. The hotel is actually two small boutique hotels run together and breakfast will be in the other one. Everyone says the breakfast is great. Our room is up several flights of stairs but we have a little balcony with a partial sea view and they gave us a bottle of wine from their own production, which is super generous!
After checking in we went around the corner to a bustling restaurant and grabbed a quick bite. I had chicken slow cooked in tomato sauce and it was delicious. We wandered around old town a little but we were both tired and will have more time to do that so we came back to the room and, once again, crashed. I can tell you one thing - I do not need to be on a boat for a VERY LONG TIME!
