Day 5
Wow that was a good sleep!I can not wait until today I really love all the myths about Greek gods so as a special treat for me we are going to go to the old Olympic stadium and then the temple of Zeus and Hera, Hera is the wife of Zeus. It was really old but it was just like I pictured it. We were driving North to Patras and then we drove some more past Corinth to the main land of Greece.

We then wandered the cobbled streets in the hot sun – looked at lots but ...

... from our room than from the Acropolis Museum and almost every other spot in the city. If you ever go to Athens, stay in Plaka and at Phaedra Hotel. It will not disappoint. We arrived in the late afternoon so we had planned on going to the Acropolis Museum to look around and eat dinner at the restaurant. The museum was very nice but laid out more like an art gallery than a museum. Every statue was the same white marble and most were missing heads and arms. ...
