We had a skype call with Jac's parents first up this morning. It was lovely having that touch of home again and sent us out the door in great spirits. The day was overcast and we had a few light showers over the next few hours. We jumped on the metro and headed into the city centre. As we stepped out into daylight my phone rang. It was our friend Jude. We spoke for half an hour which was just perfect catching up on all her news. Then it was off t...

Jac was really struggling with homesickness this morning. I think the whole flat thing is getting to her and she wishes she was back home. After a few weeks though she would wish she was back over here. By this time next week we should have a place organised so everything should be fine. The best thing to do was get out and about. We headed back to the Acropolis and today had plenty of time to explore. The view from on top over Athens is unbeli...

We had a good day today. We spent the first half of the day trawling the net looking for homes.

We have had limited success but are heading in the right direction. There are more than we had expected so we should be fine. We will just be glad to get a place sorted so we don't have to worry about it any more. We did have one bad moment for the day. ...

Up early and a crap breakfast then onto the bus for our transfer to the airport. We are very down as we have had little sleep the last 10 days and will miss the group. The trip through the craziness of the traffic and trash lined streets was pretty uneventful and we eventually arrived at the airport. I'm not feeling well so it will be another long day. To make things worse I had my jeans saturated by a tap in the toilet right in the wrong place. Great! Now I have...
