Who is Thea Cropolis anyway?

So, details of big news will be the next update. I want to wrap up journey.

Last day of Athens. Decided to see the essential sights. Athens is amazing for archaological sites. You can't turn a corner without seeing some ruins.

So first stop - The Acropolis.

Up a hefty hill in the heat. Saw the Parthanon. Still wondering why the Elgin Marbles are in The British Museum. I side with the Greeks on this one. Fantastic to be so close to actual history.

It was so hot! I really should have brought some water with me. Seemed to get a bit of heat stroke. Went into a cafe for lunch and cool-down but wasn't hungry.  The rest in the shade helped though.

Hunted for souvenir. flickums wanted an Athena statuette. The salesmen are all so pushy though. We just want to browse! But the one we ended up in was a lot easier. Friendly but was happy to let us just look.

Flick wanted to go to the Temple of Haphaestas for Sophitia from Soulbladedegecalibur related reasons. Google maps took us in completely the wrong direction. Seemed like it was through the park but that took us to a place behind the temple. We walked back, melting from the heat. Realised we needed to get the the Agora Of Athens. We got there and made a bee-line for the temple. It's not as big or glowy as the version on PS1

It's a shame we didn't really have time to see all of the Agora. It was basically a public area full of temples, I think but time was running short.

So that was the day. Needed to head home.

Athens Airport  always had a reputation as a terrible place but for us it was fine. The only trouble was I'd left a bottle of water in Flick's bag. So she was tackled to the ground, tazed and locked in a Greek prison... Wait, not that didn't happen. They just took the bottle and threw it away.

And so we flew home. Uneventful. Through Manchester Airport in about 15 minutes. We were actually out quicker than the people in front of us who had fast-track tickets.

So got home. Hit the sack.

I want to go back!
