The "zombies" woke, ready for the day - had a great late breakfast at the Ava and decided just to walk around town - the sun was shining, the temperature was perfect. Took a pile of photos, but right now am having some MAC issues, or maybe Liz problems with downloading them all of a sudden.!!
Not in any order, but below is the restaurant we had lunch at today - early in the season, wonderful views of the Acropolis and our waiter actually moved to Oz when he was 2 years old, lived in Melbourne for 50 years, but has moved back here with his 84 year old Dad, they live next door to each other, after all they are greek first - he said. Long story, but the little bit of land his Dad owned with 11 olive trees on, well actually they only really own the top 2 inches of the land in Greece, is now in the hands of archeologists searching for evidence of past civilisation - and the theory is that the Helen of Troy was there!!
Decided to be so adventurous, a greek salad and Mousaka with a carafe of their vino - rather nice.
Another view from the cafe.
