We left Sami Monday morning for the 45 minute drive to the Argostoli Airport. The \u00a0Greek sunshine is excellent for flowers – \u00a0especially roses. We will miss the scent of these glorious flowers in gardens around town – often we saw roses mixed with lilies, geraniums or other flowers.<\/p>\n

We will also miss the sunsets – each evening a different hue of pink, yellow, or blue.<\/p>\n

Cats! There are many cats in Kefalonia – some are sleek and some are scruffy but the locals seem to make sure that they are well-fed. They mysteriously appear under any table at a seafood restaurant.<\/p>\n

On the way out of town we passed the Odysseus Theme Park – how did we miss this attraction?!<\/p>\n

We got a very good deal on our rental car from Rent Car Kefalonia but there is an extra charge if it\u2019s dusty when it\u2019s returned. We made a quick stop for gas and a car wash.<\/p>\n

We returned the car in plenty of time to make our flight to Athens. A two-hour flight delay and a 50-minute Metro ride into the city, made for a late arrival to our hotel. We are staying in a quieter neighborhood near a couple of museums that we are interested in seeing. The museums were closed today but we will still have time to visit them before we leave on Friday.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve made a smooth transition from the laid back islands to the bustling city. All is well!<\/p>\n
