Brad and Mel

 We arrived early at the airport and returned our rental car. This time was easier since we rented from Eurocar which was in actually at the airport instead of having to take a shuttle.

I have to admit that the islands were missing one thing - chocolate croissants. So when we found one at the airport we just couldn't resist.

Brad and Mel actually arrived early so we were glad we scheduled some extra time. Clifford is excited.

After a shower and short rest, we walked the streets on Athens. The weather has cooled down and it was very comfortable.  Our new hotel was very nice but was further from the City Center. That night we walked it, but the next day we decided to take a taxi. Good decision!!

We also took a taxi to the Mount Lycabettus Hill; another good decision since it was approximately 3 miles to the bottom of the hill before taking the cable car to the top. It was fun (or not) remembering that in 2005 we actually walked it.

On Sunday Brad and Mel took a tour to the top of the Parthenon. Since we had been there before, we thought this was the best way to let them experience this part of Greek History while we took a side trip to Socrates Prisonenjoyed some Greek Music.

Another glitch came with a taxi strike on Monday so we had to make other arrangements to get to the airport.

Right now we are sitting at the Nolis White Fira on Santorini. Tomorrow we will explore this island before heading on the 24th via ferry to Naxos.
