The Acropolis - catching up - more than you ever wanted to see.

[We left Athens the next day, and have had no SIM card (download) for 2 weeks.]

From Hadrian's Gate (a mile away)

Our little Hotel (Phaedra) was right between Hadrian's Gate and the Acropolis.

Esposa loves stinky Cheese!

Never travel without Swiss Army Knife

Got to Acropolis @ 9am and it was already overrun:
Acropolis Hordes

No Tourists - had them vaporized.


A good photo, ruined

Not all the tourists were bad

No gunpowder was stored in this nearby agora temple, so it's intact:
