Well our first part of our trip ended on Monday when we took off for Spain.
our last weeks in Athens since i last posted were great as well.
once we left Larisa we reached Athens and finally slept at my aunties apartment in Exarhia. It was a Saturday night and lots of people were partying, throughout the nights chaos outside of my room i heard 3 loud bomb like sounds as if a grenade landed just in front of my window. I shit myself ! i didn't sleep well at all , i was also the only one in the family to hear it (are they DEAF or WHAT?)!!!! thank GOD it didn't happen again for the rest of our stay .
Arthur and i did our usual kolonaki trips and had great coffee and shopped. love that suburb, its so gorgeous. we also went to all the well known sights, the acropolis, the new museum, ancient stadium, little tourist train ride through plaka and down monastiraki. All the daggy touristy stuff , but the kids loved it and i actually loved seeing it all over again as well. we went and ate souvlakia at the famous "Thanassis Psistaria" and once again we ate souvlakia!!!! i think a souvlaki has been consumed once a day since we got here!!! the exercise has been non existent. will start from scratch when i get back. ( i know!!! I'm very naughty, but its very hard to jog in Greece. not the best footpaths and roads in world!} lol
Zoe also went to 2 different theatre productions with the aunties. she went and saw Moots Plasts, a kids comedy about a girl that fell in love with a prince who had turned into a frog and when she kissed him they both lived happily ever after as frogs. lol . i asked her if she understood it and she said "yes! and when it was funny i laughed when all the other Greek kids laughed" Clever Girl . lol lol
the second show was a musical of the "hunch back of notre dame" she absolutely fell in love with it. at the end of the show she met the performers, got autographs and kisses from the main actors. she even held the flowers given to them and was photographed holding them. very cute!
we also went to a huge shopping centre in Athens that was their version of a chadstone. it was so funny! there was a traffic jam to get to it because people go there as there Friday night/ Saturday night out! it was PACKED with families , teenagers , pensioners ......... all walks of life.
because it was raining we took the kids there. In the centre there was a lollipops meets time zone type store with every new ride and gadget you could think of for all ages. kids had a laugh.
Whilst in Greece the whole family also took up a recreational activity called "smoking". Yep even nic and Zoe! that's secondary smoking I'm talking about. everyone here smokes and smokes and smokes. They smoke in their homes , in their cars , in the cafes, bowling centres , shopping centres , restaurants, toilets , you name it they smoke there! EVERY WHERE!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S SOOOOOOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On that note i still very much Love Greece and i will miss its ways. however a new adventure will begin in Spain.
I'll keep you posted next from Barcelona.
miss you all
ADIOS
