Transits in Athens

As we woke up early to get ready to leave Athens this morning, we received an email from Air Canada that the flight from Athens to Toronto has been delayed and therefore, our connecting flight to Toronto has also been impacted. No details were given at that time, only that we will have to stay overnight in Toronto. In addition, we've also learned that there will be another spontaneous transits strike at Athens between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm today. We had to make a decision on what to do for the extended delay. At the end, rather than taking a chance to wandering in the city, we have decided to take the transits to the airport

before the strike times take effect.  By then AC has confirmed that our flight will be delayed till 9:00 pm, rather than 1:00 pm, from Athens to Toronto, arriving at 1:30 am EST and then making the connecting flight back to Vanvouver at 6:30 am on Friday morning, arriving Vancouver at 8:30 am. 

A very very long journey awaits us ... 

ps:  It took us 33 hours to arrive back in Vancouver. This has been the longest leg so far for our travel.
