We were already docked in at the port for Athens and after a 7 AM breakfast we connected with our tour for our trip to the Acropolis. Wow that was an interesting spot intimately shared with Caro and perhaps 4000 other visitors at the same time (:-[ .
I realized today that I mixed up the name Parthenon here in Athens with the Pantheon in Rome so my earlier post from Rome was incorrect.
We also stopped for a few minutes at the stadium site of the first modern Olympics. I convinced Caro to do a short run in front of the stadium where the marathon ends so she can brag to her running buddies about doing a section of the original marathon route.
Other than one or two interesting archaeological sites we saw from the bus window we didn't find Athens that interesting and we decided to spend our afternoon reading and snoozing on board near the Solarium pool (out of the sun; 34 degrees today)
We have just left the port (5:35 pm here; 9 hours earlier than home)
