Buenos tardes everyone!! Hmm no comments on here today - love seeing the comments - makes it all worthwhile... so come on you lot!! I have attached photos of the breakfast area of the hotel with our own personal friend and butler who's name I can't spell plus the actual breakfast room, our room and the building across the road from us which is typical of all the buildings here - they're generally built around a square and that is used for a mini park or whatever they want to use it for. There is also a picutre of a hospital - the Hospital de la Santa - an ambitious project which was planned around two avenues and started in 1905 and later completed by the builders son in 1930 - I understand it's the oldest ... read more

We visited all the usual places, Consitution Square, Royal Palace and saw the guards with pom poms on their shoes, The Acropolis, and many other historical places.... such as the Hard Rock Cafe, KFC and MacDonalds!! From the Acropolis - 200 metres above sea level - we could see all over Athens and think one of the photos shows this. We've confirmed the theory 'beware of Greeks bearing gifts as we discovered - under the Acropolis two cups of tea cost us over EU10!!' 10 Euros equaling approx $16.60!! We were dropped off in downtown Piraeus where we thought we would have ... read more
