Arrived Athens

  Arrived Athens after travelling 20 hours and a 9 hour time zone change. Spent our first day with Max and Luca recovering from jet lag, just relaxing in our spacious apartment (thanks Airbnb.com), and exploring some of the city on foot and cheap taxi's.
Day 2 visited "must see" Acropolis and ended the day on Mount Lycabettis a short intense hike up through the pines to the highest hill in Athens. We watched the sunset over the city and the Acropolis while enjoying a bottle of vino in a beautiful outdoor resturant.

"It is better to see something once, than to hear about it a thousand times" Asian proverb.
