I apologize to everyone first off...this entry will not be long. We arrived safe and sound and will be spending the night in Athens in a lovely hotel called Hotel Amalia. Very close to the Plaka and the Akropolis - 2 must sees in Athens.
We arrived at 6:30 am Athens time and have already been to the Akropolis. So...I'm fading fast! It is super hot here and if I don't sweat off pounds it'll be amazing. Yippee!!! And to top it off, you have to walk to the top of the mountain to view these magnificent ruins. Yes...can you say "Kung Fu Panda"!? It is WELL worth the effort and I can't imagine coming to Greece and not seeing the Akropolis.
We were also able to view the Akropolis from the top of our hotel after sunset and it was breathtaking with the lights.
Pictures to follow.

Why don't you tell me when you're doing a trip like this? You need me along to be your tour guide and body guard.

Fantastic...lotsa red wine please.
September 8th 2009 - Bobonna: The Plaka!!
Hey travelling chick!
You will find from a price stand point on your travels the Plaka really seems to be the best place to get your trinkets. The walk up to the Acropolis would be so much easier if not for the HEAT! Good for you for getting up there and taking in the views. Such a huge city, eh? Good to see the blog...have fun and be safe!

September 10th 2009 - maureen: Opa! you too!
Sounds so romantic! Glad to see you are having a good time..! Look forward to seeing pictures and hearing all about it!
Ya...we were jet lagged and it was HOT! But the only time we'd be able to see it. Thanks for the shopping tips. I hope to finish off the shopping at the Plaka. In Santorini now...wow!!
no kidding! Sorry, I should have let you know. I didn't know I was going until the first of April. We are now in Santorini and have decided enough of the tours...we are going to do things on our own here. Will be flying back to Athens on Sunday and then home on Monday.

I miss you guys too!!! Have you found a home for Trevor yet?

September 11th 2009 - Bobonna: time flies
Hey chickita!
I will be in Edmoton for Sandra's wedding when you get back. Looking forward to hearing about the adventures. I am sure the Turkish men are in love with your bright eyes...they like that kinda stuff (coming from the blondish blue eyed traveller...lol). I got the holidays off we discussed for the island and Kendyl gave the green light, so some relaxing downtime is in the future! Hope you are having a blast. SBB
