I was in, exhausted when I woke up knowing that our flight hours away home... Was I relieved? Perhaps. I wanted to go home? No. I I enjoyed every day and moment I had in Greece... but always felt that this trip would be incomplete if we don't go and see Athens... too bad it was bought not part of the package Greece we... because I constantly try, my friend a day to stay in Athens, it was simply not possible... So today was the day that I offer Adéu to this beautiful country and hop in a Looonngg home ride....
How we met with our group to find out which bus to the airport... very concerned one look back booth guide directly reserves us... Initially they apologized and went on... Honestly, I was half asleep... but as soon as I heard 'Flight delay' my brain woke up immediately... I was not sure, to the time when I would be excited or would I fear it... Who may get stuck for hours right in airport? Our flight was delayed anyways
leave at 11 am leaves the level we must now start at 11 am...Then... the unthinkable almost my wish happen... its one heard in the sky... Our guide said, to compensate for the inconvenience, we booked a hotel for the day directly in the Centre of Athens, where we have free lunch and dinner and to ensure that only, we are comfortable and well rested to the (bus) to the airport to pick us up. I had a second Flash... try, the fatigue shake way... and I was wondering... hear this right? OMG... This is Sweeeeettt....!
So how happy for us to get hooked up were not with a hotel... but of course we expect much... unless it was only for the day... As we dropped off and checked into our hotel... It was beyond the expectations... the hotel was very clean, modernize... and was just beautiful! What else can we require right?... But the point was... I was willing to pay extra $$ easy, even for a day in Athens remain even though my friend would deny always... but here we are...! In Athens! Literally just for a day!
Given
that we exhausted were... my friend wanted to sleep and rest... and this time I have a point this rare opportunity, if we don't go and explore this city... If we ever the! So fortunately I could motivate enough they get up out of bed and start position out on the road...Now... at the time were we in Athens...... they'd by some financial problems it was protests goes... and sometimes it is violent... so, I just, which will in mind... but I had no fear, what happened, me...... all could get at this time, which was in my head was... Go and explore...
As we walked through the streets... it was... but not Pretesters to busy and the city itself has stationed on the other hand us with their bulls everywhere from one point in their main roads with big guns certainly feel... I think anyone who would want confusion with this right?
Only bad thing I of Athens is... seriously... Some say taxi drivers are just too damn lazy!... so we a few taxi drivers asked... parked on the side of the
on the road... what seemed as patient Custimers wait... Why is that one had passenger of them his feet in the window and roughly say "no go and look for another!"... such as that was the end of it... we have decided to explore the city on foot... So far, there had been a very happy day with the exception for this CAB meeting...On our journey to find that met Acropolis... we agreed this man in the street, to the Acropolis take us foot, because he, the ways and means anyways head... I mean... OMG... this day was only getting better and better....
As we our way into the Acropolis... navigate get on the top was no easy task by the way... There are too many stairs under the scorching hot so... and not even a bottle of cold water does the trick...
But I have to say... any hard work pays off... The Acropolis... see, are right in front of the Parthenon... took my breath... I looked at history me... were the pillars beautifully.... it was kept intact, as if I was back in the history...
As the day ended with
a good food... we finally said goodbye to Greece... and I have to say... I will definitely return to this beautiful country... 62 Photo (s): 21 displayed: additional photos: «back 1 2 3 next» 62 photo (s): 21 displayed: additional photos: «back 1 2 3 next»Part of the journey: Greek Islands and Turkey
