Goodbye to Athens

We've had 5 weeks all together here in Athens. Once before the guests came and once after they left. We've taken the bus and trams into the heart of the city and seen all the sights there. After we checked that off the list, and took all the photos the only thing we wanted to do was hit the beach. We've spent quite a few days there and our tans are improving ;) To be nude or topless at the beach is apparently illegal but from what we've seen these laws are not enforced. (Don't worry Mom I kept things covered)
With 4 guests coming on tomorrow night we say goodbye to our slack schedule. When we have a couple weeks between guest trips we will wake up around 8 or 8:30 and work until 3 or 4. Taking weekends off and occasionally random days through the week. This sounds really cruisy but when we're working 7 days a week for 3 to 8 weeks it feels good to get that time. This is different than working on a larger boat, when guests are off there is much more to do. It's actually a time to catch up on the cleaning and maintenance that is impossible to do when the owners are on board.
  I'm actually really looking forward to the owners coming back. They are a great couple and have really great friends aboard the boat. They really appreciate all that Andrew and I do for them. It's great to work for people that appreciate our service instead of expecting and abusing it. I tend to get a bit stir crazy with too much time on my hands, so I'm sure Andrew is looking forward to me being busier too!
