... side and went into a little church at the base of the Acropolis. We wandered the streets for a while and ended up in the Plaka, a large shopping district. Eventually we made our way back to the hotel early afternoon and took a nap.

In the late afternoon we went to see the Temple of Olympian Zeus which was right across from the hotel. There were fifteen giant columns remaining from dozens originally and one that had toppled over from a storm in the 1800's. It remains with the ...

... but sunny. We took the autostrata along with all the toll booths back to Athens only to arrive here by 12:30. We have had a quiet day and will finish packing up in the morning. Day 86 May 7th (Thursday) We fly to London to see Eric's brother and family. When we talked to Alan he was looking forward to our arrival. There won't be another blog until we get home on the 17th from Scotland as the rest of our time will be with family on this side of the pond. Till then Eric & Judy

... then we`re gonna make our Birthday party together!" Can you guys believe that? And the best one: Maja is from Croatia, I`m from Poland. We speak English in between two of us. But the funniest thing is when somebody else from Balkans joins to chat with us. Then the conversation goes in between them, and I sit there and roll on the floor from laughter, because from all the Croatian-Serbian language I understand swear words the best :D. I usually understand sense of the ...

... jest bardzo slone - a sol zatrzymuje wode w organizmie. Pierwszy dzien byl jednak bardzo udany. ENGLISH: I`ve always wanted to see Greece. It was a dream of my life. And Balkans are studies specialty and passion. Thus, when my friend Marcin, after the April trip to Romania and Istanbul, said: "So, Bogna, in July we`re gonna hitchhike around Greece and Balkans, aren`t we?", I didn`t consider for too long. We were supposed to get a group of people to come ...

... went out to dinner in town though. While we were eating, the waves outside were crashing up against the shore and were almost higher than the lamp-posts! After dinner we went out to celebrate my friend Chrissy's 20th birthday! The next morning we took a van across the bridge to the island. And then we entered in to the walled city. It was very cool because the entire city has either been restored or is in the process of being restored and people are actually living ...

... lettuce, tomato, tzadziki, paprika and Frites! The vege option always has frites anyway. We have been eating them non-stop because we know that weère not going to get a lot more. Today we finally had to send a box home. All our little souvineirs and presents are starting to weigh up (mainly in Joeys pack but now they have ...

... really knocked the stuffing out of us on 82 minutes. We got one back on 89 which gave us something to shout about but the ref didn't even play out the three minutes of added time and moments later we were racing out of the stadium to get the first trains back to our boat. On reflection I think that being there made the defeat easier to take, at least we got to shout and sing and channel the energy. The next day we had planned to go and see the Acropolis but I didn ...

... with local honey, dry toast from a bag, instant coffee and he cuts up an orange and feeds it to me. He pulls out cheese slices and shows me the cost, $11 euros a pound, everything is expensive, and puts the cheese on the dry melba toast, puts quince jelly on top and I eat it. We look at a Greek navy boat in the distance through binoculars. I have to leave in a few hours so I pack a bit, we move donkey who is braying, and he takes me to the beach. I come to the beach to ...

... the terminal. A tourist travelling to Athens now would not have to take these bus rides. The new Athens Airport opened about a month after we left Greece. However, I’m glad that I was able to experience the conditions that inspired the building of a new airport.

We walked over to the luggage carousel and retrieved our bags. While we were standing at the carousel, we noticed some payphones which said they were for international calls. Even ...
