Theodoros is having a retrospective, most work from the 1960s. More well known as the inventor of the torpedo bat than as an artist

DB using hand grinders to turn on video
Y - M - C - A
THB has Intercontinental deconstructed gyro: ate about half
DB's survey from WindSurf gets THB an upgrade to the Owner's Cabin. We had to withdraw from our agreement to buy the ship after DJT tariffs went into effect
Best view of Athens is of the harbor, otherwise (big exception: the Acropolis) Athens is one very drab city
one of two walk-in closets
one of two toilets
DA and SA got an upgrade as well, both of our rooms have bathtubs!
Tomorrow's highlight: Corinth Canal - 4 miles of narrow cut, saves 435 nautical miles ... except for this cruise WindStar is adding 435 nautical miles
the cruise route Piraeuss = Athens
THB starts dinner with white bean soup, menu very similar to WindSurf as is wine list; we order the same wines as we had before

Nice cabin -- Are you ever going to "de-board" and how many parties are going to host in your suite? Thirty years ago we toured Turkey and loved Bodrum, which is mostly a seaside resort town with big shipbuilding; it will interesting to see if things have changed. Enjoy your trip....Betsy and Philip
ReplyDeleteHow did you raye the owner's cabin? Good for you! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteNo idea how we rated such an upgrade. Just theories, no facts. We will be in Bodrum twice, once from Star Legend and once from land tour in couple of weeks time...thb
