Athens in a (hot) day.

31 degrees sitting outside a traverna at 1845. Time a cold one and some dinner.

Late start for us this morning as we must have needed a short lie in.

Off to the Acropolis before the crowds - all relative of course. Windy at the top so not too hot. Marvellous piece of history of course and good to see they are preserving it well. Fantastic views. I was here with the NZAB well over 30 years ago as a guess. It hadn't moved which was good to see. Pumped into a couple who are on our ship which we board tomorrow. They raved about it which filled us with joy.

Once down off to the Acropolis museum. Lots of armless statues and more history. Lunch overlooking the Acropolis then back to the hotel to refresh after viewing the dig under the museum.

Then wandered off to the streets of Plaka and the wonderful shops and colours. It just went forever and we are still here writing this. Bought a few treasures for ourselves and Gelato.

Packing again in the morning for our pickup to the ship. 22 days await us and many fantastic places.

Love to all.Weiterlesen
