Merry Christmas!
Slept in A LOT this morning, after a fairly late night last night. We figured that, since nothing was going to be open in town, that we were likely looking at a day of vegging on the couch. That was until … we ran out of soda.
At which point in time, we decided to venture into town to see if ANYTHING was open so that we wouldn’t have to resort to drinking only booze all afternoon and ending up trashed and asleep by six.
After all the gas stations along the road into town were closed up, we were surprised to find that pretty much EVERYTHING in town was actually open and the streets were teeming with people, going from store to store with kids, sitting in the cafes along Pirates road and Zimis road (not actual road names) or on the pedestrian mall or sitting in one of the waterfront cafes down by the bridge. Even the bakery and Coffee Island were open, so we availed ourselves of a coffee treat and some more melomakaronas (this time with chocolate covered ones!) before trundling over to the grocery stores for soda.
Of course, THOSE were all closed. Booze it is.
Evening for me was playing the Pokemon DLC, which I hadn’t downloaded when the first half came out, but was looking forward to playing.
Things should open up tomorrow but I’m not holding my breath, I read somewhere that the day after Christmas was also a store closure day in Athens, but I’m not sure how that will pan out here.
