boats, trains, and greek gods

okay... really briefly here....
made it to Greece, landed in Patras and found out that all the trains to Diakofto had already left, so we found a place to stay for the night. Cheap. Then we slept.... then we woke up.... then we went to Diakofto.
Our whole reason to go there was in order to take this old fashion rack and pinion railroad, that would take us up through a gorge, and we could hitch and take buses south through pelaponeses.... sp? anyway, the train hasn't run since april due to some landslides and a german couple there said they came 2 years ago and couldn't go then either.... so we stayed the night in Diakofto which was fabulous. The town is tiny tiny tiny, and we drank ouzo on the beach with white table cloths for 1 Euro.
In the morning, we changed our plans and just took a train to Pireius, where we are now. We were hoping to just board a ferry when we got here, but every boat to every island is booked until tomorrow night. So we're spending the night in this amazing port town (not amazing, actually gross, sometimes sarcasm doesn't travel the internet highway properly). And tomorrow we're off to the islands.
