Thessaloniki Day 2

Today was a lovely rest day. We went for a long walk around Thessaloniki.

Walking along the waterfront

A year ago today was the worst train crash in Greek History. 57 people were killed. There were big demonstrations going on today protesting Greece’s antiquated train system. We saw a very large police presence including a lot of riot police.

We had an excellent dinner in the Daios Hotel restaurant,

We shared a Greek Salad
We each had Sea Bass

Swiss Air lost Duke’s suitcase yesterday. They said they would deliver it today but didn’t. We have an AirTag in it so we know it moved from Zurich to Istanbul. Now Swissair says they will deliver it tomorrow. We shall see. Meanwhile I guess we will go shopping tomorrow. We are supposed to pick up our rental car at the airport at 11 am but we may push that back.
