Hello! Long time no blog!! Sorry have not been able to blog because we have been going and going nonstop since we arrived in Europe!!
London: We arrived in London and it’s been nonstop fun. Navigating through London was a great experience. Double Decker buses and high speed trains helped us get to downtown London from our hotel near Heathrow. London was exactly like Harry Potter movies. From identical rows of houses to the British accents to the majestic buildings, London is very charming. We also visited Hyde Park and the department outlet Harrods. When we return to London we plan to do more sightseeing😊
Athens and Paros:
We left t for the Airport at 5:30 am. Surprisingly, it was not hard at all… because our body clocks thought it was the afternoon. When we arrived in Athens we went to our hotel. Absolutely amazing!! It is right on the water with a private beach right next to the huge deep pool. . It is Very modern with Very European décor. That evening we went to a scenic Greek restaurant on the Plaka. The Plaka is the streets that are right next to the Acropolis. The Acropolis is mounted majestically on the top of a large hill called the Sacred Rock. Therefore, it was visible from the restaurant!!! Lit up from below it looked like it was glowing. After dinner we walked around the Acropolis to see it at night and at different angles. In one of my pictures I am touching a column at night; it is one of the columns from the Acropolis. Scandalous!!!! We walked until 1 in the morning! One of the many things that surprised me was how many people were out on the street at 1am in the morning like us they were enjoying the beautiful warm night. And they were not hobos! The next morning we went to the Acropolis. It was absolutely amazing it exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The interesting thing was the sheer size of the Acropolis, and how many new things they are finding all over Athens. They are finding many new artifacts, and structures that are thousands of years old. It’s basically an archeological jackpot. Next we took a fairy to Paros to pick up our boat and we are now getting ready to sail. Our boat feels huge and it is beautiful. The weather is very warm and dry. The water is the color of turquoise and aqua, absolutely breathtaking. The greek people are very friendly and kind they are always ready to lend a hand.
See ya soon!
