Arriving in Greece!

May 31, 2007

OMG! I can't believe I am actually in Athens! I had three "must visit" places before I die and Athens was my #1 (Rome and Egypt were the other two). We had to be up at the crack of dawn as our excursion left the ship at 7am - I booked the whole day, biggest, and longest tour I could find since I wanted to see everything.

We had a full day planned. First stop is the Acropolis and Parthenon. Then off to the historic Plaka for lunch and a bit of shopping. From there, we were to visit the Olympic Stadium, and then the Archealogical Museum, a bit of Athens itself (by bus) and back to the boat, just in time for departure.
