We had the most wonderful and extravagant breakfast provided by Hotel Ganimede. There were several homemade jams, hummus, olive past with an egg made to order. This was washed down with fresh squeezed OJ and delicious coffee. We wandered to a pier and said farewell to the Gulf of Corinth. We then jumpbed on the bus and headed to Nafpalico since there were no early direct buses to Patras. We played scrabble on the bus to pass the time. Nafpatrito was a quick stop and soon we crossed the Gulf into Patra. It was so great travelling with Laura, I was bvery sad to see her leave to catch another bus to continue her adventure in Greece. Holly and I bought our ferry ride for Italy and had 8 hours to explore Patra. First we got some delicious slouvaki from a greatc little authentic place called Snoopys. Then with our bellies full we walked to the largest cathedral in greece. It was drizzling so we realzed in a cafe and I beat Holly at checkers. At the top of Patra sits an old medieval castle. Although it was closed, the view was worth the trek. Patras is great as it had very little touristy feel. The rest of the evening we walked around the town and had dinner at Snoopys once more. At 11 pm we boarded teh Eurpa Palace for our 30 hr Minoan cruise ship. My bike was shipped for free too!
