day2 --Athens

Half way through last night we felt kinda hungry so we set off into the night on some fat mission to try and find any shop that was open. We only managed a pack of breadsticks and some horrible chocolate biscuits and we learnt that food is not easily found late on asunday night in Athens.

Yesterday from the Parthenon we looked out over Athens and the only other raised part of the city was what we thought was a church on top of a massive hill, so today we set out to reach the top. Unfortunatly we didnt quite make it to the top, as we got distracted but I think we probably walked nearly everywhere else. We walked to the Olympic stadium, set ed's camera on timer, jumped the prohibited area barrier and just about got in the picture. Several asian people thought this was very funnny and was probably the highlight of their "cattle herding" Athens tour.
Tonight its pasta and chopped tomatoes for dinner cooked on eds petrol stove on our balcony.

Tomorrow we are off at 8.20am to kalambaka and the meteora monastries, which is a five hour train journey.
