Caught the bus into town and did the Acropolis/Parthenon.
A lot of repairs are being done to the Acropolis, new stairs in the theatre and they look fabulous.
Parthenon felt smaller than expected. Quite a trek up in the heat. If not hot, would have been a lot easier. Crowds made it more wearing. Went through Hadrian's Gate.
Three lines to describe a whole day? Quite a lot of it spent sitting in a bus!
Some time eating nice cherry ice cream. Some spent in the street near our Athens hotel to be, sitting at a cafe slurping back a beer. Some time spent walking in a park heading for Syntagma Square. Athens is a large city and we have only looked at a very small part.
Some wonderfully presented sandwich and ice cream shops.

Hello William,
(I'm posting this here as well as on the blog about your father, jsut incase the message there doesn't reach you)
I wonder if you might be able to help me. Your father flew for a time in 1943 with a Sgt E N Cave of the RAF in his crew in 202 Squadron. This man was later killed in a flying boat crash in Ireland in March 1945. I wonder do you have any photos from that period in 1942/43 that might be your father with crew mates? Sadly, I have been unable to find any photo's of Edward Norman Cave even from his remaining family members. You can read about Edward crash in Ireland on this page of my site: http://www.ww2irishaviation.com/ml743.htm
