The day started with breakfast on the roof terrace of our hotel. Bread, juice, yoghurt, tea, coffee, maps and guidebooks. Plans for a Saturday in Athens were made.
Not much later we were out walking. The plans we had made meant quite a lot of walking!
First stop was the meat and fish market,
where house wives and restaurant owners were busy buying what they needed for the day.
An almost sickening smell of meat and blood and a noise I´ve heard in no other market, with the sellers shouting out about what they had for sale.
From the market we continued to the National Archaeological Museum, which of course is a must when you are in a city like Athens. I fell for the small terracotta figurines from Myrina and Tanagra (photos on my facebook page), all from a time when the Norwegians were still struggling in the Iron Age.
We had lunch at the restaurant outside the museum, lunch without cake, but you can always dream, and window shop :-)
After lunch and a little rest, we were fit for more walking, morte steps, more thousands of steps. And with the help of a funicular (the very last part) we soon found ourselves on top of Mount Lycabettus, with a view of Athens which I could never imagine.
Now we are back on the roof terrace of Jason Inn Hotel,
and soon it is time for dinner :-)
