We flew to Thessaloniki in Greece where we boarded our Thompson Cruise ship - The Calypso. We were just about the youngest people on the cruise and we felt like grandma and grandpa but it was a great way to see some Greek Islands in a short time. We had 7 nights onboard, visiting a new port each day and spending most of the day off the ship. We had a nice cabin which was serviced twice daily and at night they turned down the beds and placed a chocolate on your pillow. We made friends with an Indian barman who was very generous with the cocktails - not so good when the ship is wobbly on some rough seas the next morning!
The Calypso in Aghios Nikolaos (1st port of call in Crete)
Back deck of the ship where we ate breakfast. The swimming pool is filled daily with sea water - it was very small and we didn't swim in it.

1st Port: Aghios Nikolaos (Crete), nice town with a lovely beach and our first taste of sun and sand in such a long time. We swam in warm water and lazed the day away on the beach. Our white bodies almost went into shock as the harsh Greek sun began to burn and we couldn't actually handle the sun for more than a few hours. The ship didn't sail until 10pm so we had dinner on land.
