We drove through the city centre, stopping at the Olympic stadium and the Parliament where we saw the 2 guards changing from one sentry box to the other's. Quite a performance. Then we went to the centre of it all, the Acropolis. First we climbed on the Hill of Mars where the judges met, and then went up to the Parthenon. Hordes of tourists but that's not surprising because it is pretty impressive.
We got back to the hotel in time to farewell 2 of our number who are joining another tour tomorrow. Most of the rest of us all went off to have Gk lunch (till 3:30). Then we wandered around the little streets and shops and then went to photograph the Temple of Zeus.
