hey all,
today has been crazy. After crashing last nite at 8pm, our 8 bed room had 5 australians and we were all wrecked so it was an early nite.
after catching up on much needed sleep, we woke by 8 had bananas and muesli bars for breakfast and then left the hostel-minus a shower, so will understand how feral my hair is in the fotos.eew, im hoping for a hot shower tonite.
left the hostel and made our way on foot-everything in athens is so close, its great for walking, to the acroplis. We were there first thing so missed the huge tour groups. saw the awesome parthenon, and temple of nike and few other places on top of the hill. at this stage amy and dan got bored so they went back to the hostel, i continued on and visited the ancient agora, roman agora (ruins of towns) and greek parliament. At the parliament i watched the changing of the gaurds, who wear funny pom poms on thier shoes, was very entertaining, but serious business for them.
after parliament i walked the 40 minute hike to lyvitikos hill. The view was amazing, including the acropolis and the first olmpic stadium, that i then walked down to see. Athens has been amazing, with everything so close, the people friendly and the weather awesome.
tomorrow we leave for the grrek islands, pick up is at 6.15am..eeew.
hope all is well, new jobs being enjoyed by all - bassos and mum. hope you enjoyed priscilla bec, lol i knew ages ago!
