Arrived in Athens

Well, I decided to just come straight to Athens from Thessaloniki. I was considering going to some other small towns on the way but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I would like to get a car/van and drive around that way. I think that's really the way to do it. Have to try and organise that some how another time.

I arrived at the train station this morning shortly before 11am, intending to take either the fast IC train at 11 something or the later one at 12:30. There was no mention of the IC train (another station maybe?) and I discovered that the 12:30 train was already fully booked - and there wasn't another one until 11pm. Seems like a problem, however I was already aware that there were a number of buses throughout the day as well, so, after a bit of effort getting there, I managed to jump on the 12:15 bus to Athens instead.

So I've been here for about 5 hours so far. I've seen the Acropolis briefly, when I was wandering around earlier. I thought I might be going out for a 'night on the town', since it is Friday, but I'm rather tired and will be going to be shortly.
I'll definitely make it out tomorrow night.

I haven't decided how long I'll be staying in Athens. I was originally thinking that I'd stay Monday night and leave Tuesday to go to Corinth, probably spend the night there and then off to Patras. I probably should stick to that, but we'll see.

It's pretty late; I think I should head off to bed.
