Friday, June 6 - Athens

The next day we were relieved to discover that one suitcase had arrived - mine - and after a nice breakfast and some Internet cafe action we took off to our next hotel (a five star one) to start the tour. We left our bags there and took off to see the Acropolis and other surrounding sites, including a totally beautiful walk through some truly stereotypical Greek streets with houses made of crumbling walls, blue shutters and lots of cats. It was great.

That night we met with our tour guide and the fellow members of our tour group - it suffices to say that they were all (well, the majority) annoying Americans. Looking back now, all of them were actually really nice. We decided to stop being so judgmental from now on and try being nice for a change. But hey, at least we got some good laughs out of it at the time. And most of them were annoying on that night, asking ridiculous questions like: 'So, how careful should we be when crossing the road in Greece?'
