We arrived safely into Athens on the Superjet ferry. It left at 6pm and got into Athens at 11pm. We were picked up at the port and driven straight to our hotel. Which was nice not having to line up with everyone else for a taxi. The ferry was very fast and pretty impressive.
The pink and white thing is our Superjet Ferry
Seeing Athens this morning after being in Santorini for 7 days was a shock. It is so noisy and dirty...not nice. We managed to find our way to the Acropolis via the Metro ...... getting lost along the way..... but we got there!
As we only had about 2 hrs free time we didn't walk up to the Path-anon....instead we walked around the Plaka area near there. It is very touristy but lovely...... had lovely cafes and lots of trees. This was a really nice area. It seems in the touristy areas they take pride and keep it clean but the rest of Athens looks very dirty, neglected and tired!
A car that's been burnt out and left in the street.
The Plaka area was really lovely to walk around.
I'm impressed with the Metro....very clean too!
We are now on our way to Zurich to get or connecting flight to Bangkok. Not sure what the Internet connection will be like at the airports on the way to Bangkok.....so will try and do another blog soon.
Our holiday isn't finished yet! We are still on our holiday adventure and even when we get back home everyday will be an adventure. So maybe we should treat everyday as an adventure of new things to discover and life could prove to be wonderful and rewarding!
