The Acropolis

This morning Carolyn and I up got ready and went upstairs to breakfast. The view was amazing. We can see Athens and the acropolis from our breakfast table.

After breakfast we went down to the lobby to meet the group for our tour.

Bronze Zeus at Museum

We first took the metro to take a tour of the Nation Archaeological Museum, where se saw many famous pieces from the years before Christ.

After that we went to a bus that took is to the Acropolis. It was amazing. Being able to see one of the ancient wonders of the world is truly amazing. I took so many pictures my camera's battery died. It felt so unreal to be there.

Greece Parliament Building

After hours of enjoyment Carolyn and I went to lunch at the cafe within the Acropolis museum. After we

rested our feet and fed our bellies we went and looked through the museum.

Following that we walked back to the hotel stopping in various shops to explore. We also wanted to get pictures with the guards at the parliament building but unknowingly we walked into a demonstration that was going on so we turned around once we figured that out and skipped that tourist experience.

After all that we were so excited to be back at the hotel as our feet were killing us! We then rested for a bit before we headed back out for dinner.

We ended up going to the hotel for dinner. Even though it was just up stairs it was a long walk.

After dinner we went to a close restaurant for coffee and tea and wifi but they only had wifi so we ordered soda instead. Then we came back and crashed for the night. Long day!
