01: Athens


We (Geno, Lisa, Wayne and Linda) arrived 10 minutes early on a planned 9.5 hour flight. Fairly comfy, Air Transat Club Class, but it wasn't a real 1st class. Bus to the hotel, much much traffic. Took over an hour. Hotel was nice, room was nice, location perfect.

Today we did some walking around. Through a park (National Garden) and around the parliament, watched the changing of the guard. We visited Zeus's Temple, and could see the Acropolis from there. After that we walked by Athens' Olympic Stadium. We ended up at Sindagma Square across from the parliament.


For lunch we had donair like meal, never found the true giros (yet). And for dinner (after a 2 or 3 hour nap), Lisa and I went out for Greek salad and pizza.

Not a bad day considering we missed a night of sleep.
