Athens

 Apologies for being behind in our blogging.  We have visited the Acropolis and Parthenon. 

It was a slog to get up there.  The tour description said 78 stairs and yes there were 78 stairs, but there was also long uphill path that was kicking the entire tour’s butt.  Happy to report my hip did really well and we weren’t the last to make it up the hill. 

Something interesting we learned this is not the only Acropolis - every city had one, but this one is the most well known.




This is the remains of the Temple of Athena


After this visit was over, we were again Forced Marched to a restaurant.  Shan and I made it, about 5 others got left in the dust.  Our guide had to go back and find them. 

It was a nice lunch - various Greek types of food.  Outside of it was a lovely small square


Doing the blog on the ship has been difficult as it takes FOREVER to upload photos.  So I am going to pause until we get to our hotel in Istanbul to catch up
