Las Chillin' Morning in This Very Balcony

Friday, May 22, 2015

This would be my last chillin' morning here.

I start to get used to this kinda morning. This is what I've been doing for the last three days. Waking up at 6, which can only happens because that means 10 am in Jakarta and I'm still having jetlag. So yeah, jetlag is good for me.

Mom, dad, and my sister are always still sleeping. So I can really enjoy a brief moment of silent and calmness. I just get out of our bedroom and go to the balcony. The air is really fresh, the view is really nice, and the sky is showing beautiful sunrise.

So I just sit here, watching the sunrise, looking around. Each minute the city below is getting busier and busier. Cars and motorbikes passing, people walking, some of them are running. I'm clearly not staying in the best part of this city, but this is still a nice scene. This is what a "good morning" literally means.

So I just sit and watch. And write my blog while I can think clearly. If I smoke, I might have been enjoying a cigar or two here. But I don't.

This morning the sky looks kinda pale. I think it's going to rain soon. Yesterday and the day before, the sun was shining really bright. The air was warm. But this one I'm enjoying now, is still a nice morning.

So this would be our last day in Athens before we go to the famous Santorini. Thing about european city is, it is really easy to get used to live in the city. Just like when I visited Holland and Milan,  at the very first time of course everything still confuses me. But the second time and after, I already feel like home. I know exactly where the nearest station is, I know how to reach the place I want to visit, I know where to buy food and water, I just get used to my routine. And I'm gonna miss it so much when I leave.

Okay, it's 7.20 now, Greece time. The other days, it was really sunny at this time. But I won't say this is not my day. Because I'm gonna make the best of my last day in Athens. And by last day, I mean last day before Santorini. Because after that I'll be back to Athens to catch my flight back to Jakarta. And I really wish I could visit Athens again and again in the years ahead.

Kalimera!
