Back to the port of Piraeus this morning and we shared a cab into Athens with a couple who are doing this cruise from Rome to Rome. Although we are not going there today, we could see the mighty Acropolis up on the hill, an incredible sight to see – we remember well the great day we had a couple of years ago visiting all the wonderful tourist sights.
We arrived at the Plaka which is the older part of Athens and is one of the best shopping spots we are going to visit, but first it's time for coffee and phone the family, before the shops open – even though it is mid morning!!!
Can't believe how cheap everything is here – we obviously pay far too much for just about everything at home….. Lots of lovely shops and many souvenir shops as well and I did have a good time today - was able to purchase a couple of pairs of shoes – cool and comfortable - I could have bought 50 pairs of shoes here, just too many to choose from – a real dilemma!!! When we were here last we had lunch at the same restaurant we went to today – think we had the same meal, as well!!! Good Greek food!!
Sadly I am having problems with my lovely new camera – it's the operator and not the camera!!! The camera and computer are not talking to each other at the moment, excrutiatingly frustrating, but because of that and fiddling with all the settings etc., a few photos have also been deleted, which means I have no photos of today!!
