I signed Deanna and I up for a crew tour of Athens today. I couldn’t find Deanna and there were only two slots left on the sign up sheet so I did it without talking to her about it. It turned out she had researched Athens and planned stuff, but we went on the tour anyway.
It ended up that the tour took us to the Acropolis and that was pretty much all it was going to do. So, after seeing the sites there we found our guide and told her we were going to find our way back. Best choice ever.
We walked into a little neighborhood…the equivalent of NW Portland, but less hippies and cooler. Nice little shops, nice dining. A good rest after looking at ruins in the heat. Deanna and I are kind of ruin-ed out. We’ve seen Pompeii, Herculaneum, Acropolis, and all of the rich history that is Europe. Our guide also told us that some of the things in Acropolis were replicas and the real ones were in the museum.
From the neighborhood we took a train back to our port area of Piraeus and took the long walk back to the ship. Sweaty day, over.
