First Day In Tolon

5/10/11

Location: Tolon

The flight that we got on yesterday was delayed by more than 2 hours. We finally boarded the plane and got settled I for the long flight. I slept for most of the time other than when they were serving food. We arrived in Athens at 9:10 in the morning. After everyone got their luggage we all got on a bus that would take us to Tolon, the first city we would be visiting. The bus ride took about 2 hours and we stopped to look at the canal in Corinth and take pictures. The canal was very high up and near a few souvenir shops and restaurants. I hadn’t gotten any Euros yet, we were all waiting to get to Tolon and use a local ATM to withdraw money. It only took me about 10 minutes to settle into my hotel room and then I went to look around the city. I was able to find an ATM and look at the various shops that they had. Tolon is like a village and it’s very small. It was fun to be able to explore the area. I found where the grocery store was and walked along the beach by the hotel. Dinner is served fairly late in the day so everyone in our group had a chance to walk around which was nice after a long plane ride and being on a bus for so long. After we ate dinner a few of us walked around searching for a place that had an internet connection. Our first dayis almost over, I feel tired but it's been a great trip so far.
