GREECE!!!!

We are in Greece now!! We arrived last night after flying with easyjet from London. Easyjet were surprisingly good and we all had a comfortable 3.5 hour flight. We arrived at the Monostariki metro station in Athens to find the first view of the acropolis all light up pretty. Our hostel is pretty good, located right in the middle of the city, close to everything we wanted to see and do.

Today we headed out to the markets for some perusing and purchasing. The food here is so cheap, and we feasted on flat breads with tomatoes, cheese and salami for breakfast and lunch. Then it was off to join the rest of the tourists at the Acropolis. The old stuff was amazing and we spent all day wandering around various parts of the old stuff that was on display. Including; the Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike, the Agora, an old amphitheatre, Temple of Olympian Zeus and the olympic stadium from the first modern olympics (1896). See photos below.

Tomorrow we meet up with Brads Dad for a bit more Athens touristyness before heading out to Santorini for a bit of rest and relaxation at the beach.
