after 19 hours of traveling, we finally made it to athens! good trip so far:
-ate delicious lamb kebab, really good tzatziki, souvlaki, pitas, gyro
-saw the beautiful Acropolis, Parthenon, lots of ancient ruins, fun markets, 1 Starbucks!
-lots of walking around this HUGE city, blisters galore, but it's worth it
-super paranoid about people stealing things/bags/etc but paranoia pays off, nothing stolen yet!
-successfully rented a car for our 3 day trip to Corinth, Epiduras, Ancient Olympia, and Nafplio - we leave today!
-no major jet lag! but feet got swollen from the flight.
-lots of sunshine and sunscreen
-pictures galore - already took 490! yikes!
-decent hostel so far - 15 EUR a night at Hotel Zorbas
-strange Greek boys called at us "Jackie Chan!" when they saw us - that's all they know about China
that's it for now. pictures later! bye!
Glad to see your having fun... please be safe and deliver my diane back to me and brown dog...
