Port O' Patra

From Corfu, we took a ferry to a port city in Greece called Patra. This ferry experience was quite the opposite of our previous from Italy to Greece, thank goodness. We were happy to find a pool on the top deck and soaked up some Adriatic rays along the way. Approaching Patra, we saw their beautiful bridge, the world's largest cable suspension bridge. We didn't know much about Patra, but it turned out to be decent place to stay for the next day before we could hop the train to Athens. Our place was called Pension Nicos and they had a great little rooftop terrace. Patra had a pretty happening nightlife, and we went to a little club called CiboCibo. While there, we ordered what we thought would be 2 seven year old Havana Clubs, but instead ended up with 4 glasses of tequila. Not wanting to be rude to our new Greek friend, we of course drank them. Next morning---- ATHENS!
