Athens

The hotel Kelvin booked - Classical Baby Grand - is quite funky and in the downtown core. This makes exploring by foot much easier. We had a very busy sightseeing day. Visited some monuments and bought 2 outlet converters. The one Kelvin's dad gave us didn't fit into the hotel's wall. The hotel even gave us a "love" room when Kel told them that we're on our honeymoon.

Things to do in Athens

Acropolis (Akropolis)

• this was a spectacular site to visit - a MUST do while in Athens
• the acropolis was within walking distance from the hotel so we went up to see it in the morning and then went back to Plaka to have dinner while watching the sun set over the acropolis, very romantic!
  
• the crowds are horrendous during the daytime but we managed to get some pictures with no people in it

Ancient Agora

• more columns, ruins...I'm beginning to think we should have done some research or reading before hitting all of these ruins to find out what so great about them...
  

National Archaeological Museum

• lots of traditional types of statues - with or without heads
• would probably take half a day to go through it word for word - we didn't have that much time so we ran around a looked at the highlights
  

Parthenon

• I like the symmetry...columns in rows is becoming a photographic theme :-)
  

We managed to crap a lot of the Athen highlights into the day and end it with a wonderful dinner overlooking the Acropolis.
