Day 87 Chios

Today's our last day in Athens, we're off to Chios on the overnight ferry. Athens is a lovely city and we've really enjoyed exploring it. We have to check out of our apartment at 11:30 and the ferry isn't until 20:00, so we need to figure out how to stay out of the sun all day with our bikes and bags! Down by the port we found an Indian restaurant for lunch, hurray! The Piraeus archaeological museum allowed us to kill some more time, then we hung around in a park. We picked up some sandwiches and headed to the port. The tickets said dock E2 and we followed E2 signs into the port but couldn't find our ship, Ariadni. Staff in a kids play centre said we were in the right place so we stayed and chatted with a nice Croatian guy called Mattia who was a foot passenger on our ferry. We were supposed to board at 7pm so by 7:20 with no sign of Ariadni we started to get worried. We asked around - no we weren't in the right place, the ship was at another dock. We dashed round, made it on board and stowed our bikes then found our cabin. We saw Mattia - he'd made it too! We have a 4 berth cabin all to ourselves, luxury!
