Finally made it to Greece!




So its been quite the days of traveling but at least were finally at a "stable hotel" in greece. We landed in Zurich yesterday at about 11am there time... so 4am for you guys. Slept a whole 3 hours on the plane but oh well. I sat next to this swiss guy and he was really cool talked for a while but mainly watched movies and read.
Once we got to the airport it was quite the adventure.. we had figure out the best/easiest way to get into the city... after talk to people we figured out that it was by train. Then we had to figure out what station, how much (because they take franks or whatever) and then find a locker to store all our carry on stuff. So about you know an hour and a half later we were finally on our 15 min bus ride to the city area.
We got there and started walking around and didnt really know what we were doing because everyone speaks german. haha. so we went back to the station and found a tourist place where we went and asked a guy what was the best thing to do... he replied by circling some roads and churches which we figured was some path to walk so we found the streets and off we went.

Pictures are from Zurich when we walked around for the day!.

The architecture was so pretty... There were these areas off the roads that we made out of like stone and there were huge really pretty churches (dont worry i took pics) after about 2 hours of this wandering we decided we were cold (it was ummm about 30 degrees F and lightly snowing... as i wore my sweatshirt :) so we decided we should probably eat so went back to the train station found a cheap little place with sandwiches and wraps... grabbed one and went back to the airport.
By this time it was only like 330 maybe 4... and our plane left at 1030. so we began to wounder again and try and figure out how to get to where our gate might be. We found some chairs etc so all sat down... rotating taking or attemping to take a nap. Got delirious for a while because so bored/tired/nothing to do. Played cards etc
We finally got on our last plane where i met a "friend" who only spoke greek. haha ya that was funny. He decided we would be friends and had us take a picture together while his 6 friends around him all spoke greek and laughed and i just sat there laughing because i had no idea what was going on. Shoulda heard him try and say my name... i laughed.
Got off the plane about 230am and steph lost one of her bags... so we spent another half hour deal with that. Finally got to the hotel... which is tiny but cute?Finally went to sleep around ohh 5am. Now finally taking on the day at like 5pm... i guess we'll see where this day takes us..
