Traditionally up at the crack of dawn. The mercury was rising and when we stopped at the Olympic stadium we were heating up. Off to parliament to see the changing of the guards. Very unique. Across the street in the quadrangle you could see all political signs and tents of the protestors. Last stop the acropolis to see the Pantheon. Geez was it hot, hitting 38 degrees and every step up we were vetting closer to the sun. Phenomenal views of Athens from the top of the Acropolis. They anticipate to finish the reconstruction of the Pantheon in 5 years... Does that mean I need to go back one day??? If so Santorini will definitely be on the cards.
From Athens we made our way back to Patras. On the way through we had am comfort stop at Corinth where we saw the canal. It is 25km long, they even have a bungee jumping station (not today)
The ferry back to Greece was a complete contrast of the way there. Hardly a soul onboard. I thankfully got some time to catch up on my Zzzzzz.
