Athens

Arrived at Athens airport 23.45 and got the local bus into town. As we stepped off the bus to try and find our hotel a man asked us where we were going, then crossed the square with us and showed us the way. This has been our experience of Greece so far, everyone super friendly, helpful and will go out of the way to help you.  We walked up to the Acropolis in the late afternoon and it was spectacular. All over Athens there are these big dogs just laying about on the marble flagstones asleep, they are everywhere. One was flopped down in front of the guard house at Parliament buildings. They get hot, stop and lay down and everyone works around them, saw one on the road, another in the Swatch shop door way, everyone went around them......mind you they are big dogs.  Nipped out to Piraeus and organised ferry tickets to Paros for some R&R.  Weather still hot, hot hot.....musnt grumble.
