Athens in a Day Continued

After the Acropolis, we visited the Acropolis Museum.  This just opened this year and was very interesting.  They had a great video of the Parthenon which showed how it looked in its heyday                              .IMG_4165 IMG_4164

Lunch for the weary was in the Plaka.  We had sweet red peppers stuffed with Feta cheese, tzatziki (a greek yogurt with cucumber and spices) with bread, mousaka, spicy meatballs and a Greek salad.  Dessert was Greek Yogurt with Apricots and Honey…Delicious!

We passed the Olympic Stadium Reproduction which was built in the 1890’s for the Olympic Games.

Now that we could barely walk any further we finally reached the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian’s Wall before catching the trains back to the marina (yes, they opened up after 4pm).

What a great experience to share with the family! That lunch looks fantastic!

My Greggo McMuffins have all of a sudden lost their cache. If Kate sees that picture I might just have to up my game.
