Day 28 - Athens: Hop on Bus tour


As I mentioned previously, we got free hop on bus tickets with the purchase of the cruise tickets.

We spent this day hopping off and on the bus to explore the city.  We avoided the cruise ship and class trip throngs by starting early.

Our first stop was the Acropolis, and we used Rick Steves' audio guide on Ramesh's phone.  The phone was attached to his 'selfie-stick', and we could both hear the details.








Next up: The Propylaea
The Entrance Gate


 The Parthenon








Temple of Erechtheion








Temple of Olympian Zeus, Athens







Arch of Hadrian (Athens)




At the end of the day, we found ourselves at the Panathenaic Stadium





When Jackson is an Olympic athlete, remember that he got his start at
the first Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece!

We met up with Auntie A, and went out for Indian food this night.  Auntie A and I were satisfied with our meals...Ramesh was not pleased with his.
