We left this lovely place for the ship with some regret. This has been a worthwhile extravagance--not a common phrase from me.
The driver was much more interested in talking about Onassis and Mrs. Kennedy than the financial problems but was as suspicious of conspiracy against the Greeks as the previous drivers.
Embarkation was surprisingly simple and the ship is beautiful. We noticed the smallness of the room after Laginesse.
There is a noticeable change in the staff, some effort to be chums. ("Beautiful--not the presentation, the lady.") We have an expressive wine steward. There are very few people at dinner. Our table of eight has only four, our partners are British, the man a former contractor for the U.S. Navy, the wife a former entertainer.
We will go to Athens again tomorrow.
