10-26-25 Athens
It’s so weird. I don’t know how I even missed posting yesterday but again I have been very tired. It is exhausting to look down at my feet everywhere that I walk and ensure that I don’t twist or slip as well as all of the people that I’ve been in contact with.
Deb and Dave and I were out of the ship early and got picked up by our taxi driver Giovanni. He was with George’s taxi, which is highly rated and basically brought us two different bases all day long and then we had phoned him when we’re done and ready to pick up.
Firstly, he took us to the top of the hill to survey the surroundings. As far as we can see in all directions is Athens spread out.
He dropped us at the Acropolis and we listened to our Rick Steves app as we toured about. It was very good.
It truly is magnificent. We piled back in the car and headed out. They went that way and we went ours. We weren’t there early enough for Sunday, for the full changing of the guard but it was beautiful
The Agora, especially the museum was beautiful
The lunch drop off ff was at Egg of the Rooster. We had so much food that we could have shared one plate. It was sooooo good
The last stop was to be the archaeological museum but we were pretty burnt out so we decided to skip school and find a spot for a beverage instead
Back at the ship we hung out on the aft deck at the wave view bar where we were joined by Wendy’s posse without Wendy
The rest of the evening is a bit of a blur but it was fun
