1st NOVEMBER
Trying to cramm as much as possible into our visit
to Athens so started again very early after a light breakfast.We are
getting quite good at walking into the centre of Athens, it is about a three
mile walk into the centre but is quite a pleasant walk and much nicer than
trying to squeeze onto the buses.
Today was looking around for bits for the
boat,Athens is full of hardware shops and chandleries that are jam packed with
stuff, a bit like Aladdins Cave!
Ate at the famous Kostas Kebab stand, we were
amazed at the queues forming outside and that was the only way that we
found it as we were wondering what the people were queing for!
  The views from the top of the Acropolis were
fantastic, and here we are queing for Kostas famous Kebabas with his signature
tomato sauce and hot pepper, really tasty.Eating 'al fresco'.Worth the trouble
of looking for this place, reputation is indeed valid.
  Left Athens the next day and travelled towards the
Corinth Canal bridge, which apparently is more expensive than the Panama
Canal to travel through by ship.
 
 Again we nearly missed this sight as it is crossed
in the blink of an eye by road.
