This morning was a bit overcast, went down for our breakfast and a bit of help on a few things we needed to accomplish today. As usual the staff gave us all the info we needed, and we headed off for the Acropolis, not far from the Hotel really.
The streets are lined with flowering blossom trees, or orange trees.
Now to find the easy way up to the Acropolis.
A reasonable climb, but well worth it.
The Acropolis's stunning theatre.
wandered around - still amazed how they did it.

Everywhere you go, there are big gentle dogs just lying around, we were told yesterday that they do not euthanise dogs in Greece - they are fed by all and sundry. Same rules for cats as well.
We boarded the red "hop on, hop off" bus from the bottom of the Acropolis, it started to rain, so I just took photos of the Greek Guards doing their change of guard en route past "Parliament House", where the unhappy people are.
We travelled around on the red HOHO bus, got off at one of their department stores, Hondos, bought all the things I had left at home - hairbrush, lipstick etc. etc. Boarded the bus again and spent more time travelling around with a group of english people (one was born in Reading and follows Reading footy) who are on the final part of a World Cruise on the Aurora Ship -we knew all the same places, a very fun hour or so. We then decided to head back to our Plaka area, and go out for a late lunch - which again was great - back home to the Ava, get the blog done, and prepare for our move to the Silverwind tomorrow.
Another great day for us.
