We took a bus tour of Athens. It was Wednesday and the public transportation workers were on strike. So the infamous bad traffic of Athens was made even more terrible. We saw about 50-100 people standing at each bus stop along our route. I don't know why they didn't seem to know that the bus would not come that day. Athens is another amazing city I want to return to some day. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, the birthplace of democracy and I enjoy history! We saw the Parthenon atop the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus, the old Olympic Stadium and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier which is guarded by elite soldiers in traditional Greek Uniforms.
Everywhere we stopped in Greece they bragged about their wonderful olive oil. So I had to take a picture of the olives!
After our tour we were playing cards on the balcony of our cabin and we have no idea why we were treated to parts of a fun Greek airshow. I got a couple of photos of the jets. The planes would disappear behind the hill and then shoot up above it again.
