Kalymnos->ATH


The flight from the kalymnos airport to Athens was unfortunately fully booked so we instead went via Kos: drop off the car, clean up the stuff, get ripped off by the Taxi guy for the ride from the studio to Pothia, then hop on the faster ferry to Mastixari. From there, cab ride to the airport and a plane flight to Athens. After a long wait, the Holiday Inn shuttle showed up, we checked in and had an overpriced and terrible meal and collapsed. Poor Alex had developed a heat rash and was in great discomfort. Thumbs down for the Holiday Inn, by the way.
