A Grand Tour of Greece With a Rubber Rat
Well folks we arrived safe and well yesterday afternoon, if a little tired! Athens - What a surprise? Not how you imagine atall. A beautiful city, green quiet and clean. The Metro is something else. Shiny clean marble platforms. Felt a little underdressed too, Athenians dress very smartly, not a chav in sight!!Will now hand over to the Rat for his bit. L
Eeek Eeek! Hi everyone! this is a cool place, my hotel is a bit wierd though, sort of 1970s but really friendly. I love Athens, a really cosmopolitan city for a cosmopolitan rat, I really fit in here athough M & L look like scruffs! i went to the Acropolis this morning, well you have to some touristy stuff, its great, but needs a lick of paint! Then to the temple of Zeus. I went to the presidential palce, but they would\'t let me in.
M & L are going out tonight to see the view from Mars hill and eat in a lovely taverna up there, but i\'ll go on my own to meet some Athenian rats(Havn\'t seen one yet) and check out the city cheese. We\'re all off early tomorrow to get the rickety train to Nafplion, hope to let you know more then and maybe get some pics back to you, but internet cafes are a bit thin on the ground.
Its really toasty warm here and hey, I saw the eclipse yesterday!! remember that eerie light when we had one in the UK...spooky! Ok i\'m off to do some more stuff now Andio.....el Rodente.
