We woke up at the crack of 9:30. Haha! We got to sleep an extra hour because today is daylight savings time in Europe! Score!
We ate breakfast then called Delta to change our flight. They changed our flight to where we had two layovers instead of one. So we had them switch it to a flight that goes from Athens to New York, then to Dallas. So now we have a 4 hour layover in NYC! Oh the possibilities.
We booked an extra night since now we don't have to be at the airport at 3:00am. Our hotel is super nice. Not only did they keep us in the same room, but they are charging the super cheap rate that we booked online! Yay!
We started packing up our stuff to get a bit organized. Then finally headed out about noon. We went to the Plaka again and got some last minute souvenirs.
We stopped by the temple of Olympic Zeus and got pics. Then we went to the Olympic arena. It was where the first modern Olympics were held in the 1800s. Not to be confused with the 2004 Olympic area of Athens.
From there we went to Syntagma square. There were no protests today, thank goodness. We saw Parliment and the guards.
Then somehow ended up in the Plaka...again. Its one of the best parts of Athens! Not to mention to get there we passed the most popular cat hang out. :P
We stopped and played with the swarm of kitties. One we named Moustache. He would follow us down the street and hopped into Heather's lap and started purring and kneading her leg. :) cats can totally sense Cat Lovers. Its precious.
We stopped at Antica for dinner. It was a tiny resteraunt next to ancient Agora. It was such a good way to end our trip!! We had meatballs and sauce for an appetizer, which were so good. Then for dinner I had the best pizza I have ever tasted! It was so good I sort of cried...but I'm not ashamed. That pizza was like magic! Heather had a plate of pork gyros, which were also delicious. Such a good send off dinner!
We got back to our hotel and are finishing our final journal entries, packing up, and watching Greek-dubbed Spongebob.
Its surreal that we are going home tomorrow! Where has the time gone?! I have such mixed feelings. It will be really great to get back to our own place with the kitties. But on the other hand...to leave Europe....its really hard. We have spent 12% of the year here!
Not to mention, I have really enjoyed blogging about the trip! I will update with pics when we get home. Then who knows...maybe we will blog again on our next great adventure! Until then...
Safe Travels,
- Kit & Heather
