A heart that loves is always young… ~ Greek Proverb HE SAID... Today we were continuing to explore the ancient city of Athens. Wide awake at 5:30am, our bodies still adjusting to the eight-hour time difference between Greece and Australia, we used the early morning stillness to prepare for a self-guided walking tour of central Athens. This time there would be no ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)! The more we travel, the more we see; and the more we see, the more we understand that we know so little - which is a brilliant thing.

Many faces of Athens
We are enjoying your trip to Greece. I'm glad I'm reading this in the morning and I"m well rested or I might get tired by all the things you manage to accomplish in a few days.
