Today we woke up in Rome. We didn't have much time to look around though as straight after breakfast we had to head to the train station to catch the train from Rome to Napoli (Naples). We got 1st class tickets on the express train and were in Naples before we knew it. We were told by lots of people to keep your eyes open in Napoli as there are quite a few dodgy people and when we arrived at the station we knew exactly what we had been told were true. There...

This morning we explored Athens by foot. We walked from our Hotel to the Museum and spent a couple of hours there checking out the exhibitions. We then we headed down to Parliament and watched the changing of the guard. This is a very elaborate ceremony that takes about 15 mins in total. The 2 guards are replaced every hour on the hour.

Also planned our snack for the boat ride back to Athens. We caught the ferry and dined out on fetta, olive oil, bread, salami and wine on the ferry. Straight afterwards we all needed to take a nap! Drinking and sea water will do that to you. We didn't get into Athens until a...
