Friday, 1.Day on the ship

[picasaView album=’AIDA01′ directview]After a delicious breakfast at the hotel we settled settle on a fence well before the ship by a taxi to the check in point. Surprisingly, the driver did not require tourist rip off prices, the taxi driver what are known here, but even went from originally 20 onto 15 and then honest 13,- Eur down.

Slight tension was widespread in me, because the case no longer was quite close, but only held together by the two belts. When balancing on the conveyor belt of the security man said “No Problem”, I drew his attention to the open slot.

Slightly tense, I drove the shuttle bus to the ship and let the check-in formalities endure patiently about me. Since the cabins until 16:00 were obtainable we looked briefly at the cabins on the ship.
Like ants scurrying diminutive Asian long hallways between the eternal and took away the traces of the previous.
Our room on deck 7 would have been even finished, but since the case had not yet arrived, we went back to shore and just explored on foot Heraklion.
In a fairly secluded side street, we discovered a small tavern with only locals. Old shabby chairs in front made the atmosphere very authentic complete.
We ate delicious Greek salad, Sardines and shrimp. Some Venetian fort even today testifies to the previous geographical importance and the many owners of the island of Crete.
Back to the boat was already a suitcase to the cab door, of course, not my.
When I saw how the little elves in the service stairwells which case the guests are criss-cross had, I painted myself in the head already the worst scenario from:
The belts had not kept, and the case has been bursting scattered its contents briefly before loading onto the ship into the water. Above all, both cases are the same eingechekt. Concerned, I asked for people to, which meant it was not a problem, I know the normal alles. A great feeling, having to watch the cabin roommates clothes while granting the inactive.
After further repeated requests, even up for a personal interview at the reception desk on deck 5, called just after 15 minutes and this meant that my luggage was delivered there.
My pulse began to rise. Then came the sentence I did not want to hear: “The case has risen”.

Impotence was widespread in me.

It then turned out to hectic to and fro, that with “risen” exactly the condition was meant, in which it was made by me. “He is immediately delivered to the room” it was then. After hanging up, I regretted it almost back, I do not even picked up the suitcase. It took another half hour, until I finally lay the suitcase under a bustle of other cases looked. Happy, that the tapes but then stopped, I took him to the car and could finally relax. At the first dinner I was so so overwhelmed and killed by the diverse selection of buffets in the restaurant world-wide, that after 2 small plates emphasized the sail. I could not somehow the whole process really. Unbelievable what to sell everything. In the evening there was the sun deck then a laser show. Tired we fell into bed and had a surprisingly good night spent.
