Our next port of call was Athens
We also planned an excursion
We had to meet at 7:30 am in the hopes that we could get ahead of the crowds!!
Nope
There must have been 10,000 people at the Acropolis
View on the way up
View of Mars Hill (where Apostle Paul preached) from the Acropolis
Panoramic view of Athens from the Acropolis (click to open larger)
Parthenon
Our next stop - the Panathenaic Stadium
Home of the first "modern" Olympics in 1896
Next stop to see the changing of the guard at the Parliament Building
If you click here, you can see a little video of the march!
Pretty impressive
Next stop was some time to shop and a "little" lunch
And then back to the ship and our pillow gifts for tonight
Olive Oil and a punch pack!!
Tomorrow I'll conclude our trip with our stop in Katakalon!!
