We made it!

We're here!

No problems on the flights over, we even got some sleep on the Toronto to Frankfurt leg.

We got to our hotel and dealt with things in the proper order; cold beer in roof garden, followed by nap, followed by a walk down to the Plaka for dinner, the area at the foot of the Acropolis which has many historic sites, al fresco tavernas and restuarants and lots of more of less touristy shops. There are always impromptu concerts and performances on the go; we were serenaded through dinner by a bazouki player whose repertoire covered everything from Greek folk tunes to Led Zeppelin! We then explored the subway system which is pretty easy to use to save us a walk home as the jet lag started to kick in at around 10 p.m.

A good night's sleep was had by all and we are going on a museum crawl today!

Here is the evidence!

Given the local climate (the temperature is already in the low 30's and it isn't high summer yet), it is no surprise that the beer comes in larger (500ml) bottles.
