Our day began with a dawn breakfast at the rooftop restaurant where we had eaten dinner the
previous evening. We were one of the first people to arrive, so we got one of the best tables!

Our guide was excellent. There were a number of quite learned people in our group, including two professors. She gracefully allowed them to elaborate on many of the exhibits, whilst ensuring that we kept more or less to the schedule.

At the end of the visit to the Archealogical museum,
we got back on the coach and went on to the Agora.

At lunchtime, we returned to the hotel, where we sat for a couple of
hours waiting for our transfer to the port of Piraeus and the start of the cruise.
It was clearly a big logistical exercise for the local agent but was a little bit tedious for us!
