Up early and off to the Acropolis. We drove thru Athens, it is a very big and often dirty city. There are some beautiful old buildings, but many were incomplete, or in disrepair between the port and the city. They were also pulling down some to build apartments, what a pity. The Acropolis is an amazing place, it felt strange being there, rather than just looking at pictures. The crowds were huge, and we got there early!Stopped at the old Olympic Stadium for photos, then on to a market area called Plaka, where we had yummy Greek food for lunch, and did some more shopping!Back to the boat for a snooze, then out for dinner.Kate = Tomato and Mozzarella salad, Chicken Masala and Strawberries Romanoff.Derek = Same entree and main course, and the dessert sampler.Went to the show after dinner, called Dancing thru the Movies, it was energetic and heaps of fun.
