A day out.


Today we had Carole to ourselves for the whole day. =). So we asked her where she would like to go and she wanted to see the Acropolis. ... so we did. We took the tram and the metro and our feet and went to see the museum. After the museum we took a small train tour which brought us right up to the Acropolis. Carole was very impressed with the museum but the Acropolis was very difficult to view in the heat. Photo courtesy of Carole..
We were tired so we left there and got the metro to Neos Cosmos where we tried to get some food, unsuccessfully. The cafe told us they sell chips so we sat down. We were given water and had lovely fans blowing a mist of water on us. The waitress asked us for our order we asked for Chips and she said " I cannot serve you just chips" so we asked for the club sandwich with out the filling, and chips,,,,, "sorry I cannot serve you this....We do not have bread!!!!!"
We left there and went to Caroles hotel on the tram that was going in the opposite direction but only a short distance from the hotel we stopped the tram and got off. Carole was able to direct us to her hotel. She has 9 floors in her hotel and on the roof is her swimming pool! She said the views are amazing! The night sky is a beautiful red. She is served 4 course meals daily.
Before going back to the hotel Carole sampled some bbq'd Corn on the cob... Yum yum. and was back in time for dinner.!!
