Day 25

Well, I've saved the biggest for last. Athina. It certainly holds it's own on the world stage as one of the great Capitals of the 20th century. The city spreads out as quite a monotonous sprall but the hills of rock that spike up between the buildings are impressive. Particularly when they are crowned by magnificent ancient Greek architecture! I reckon anyone living here could start their own museum. All they would need to do would be to spend a morning in the garden digging and by lunch they would have enough finds to open a museum! On a serious note old remains really are everywhere. The increase in size of the new Acropolis museum compared to the present one is testament to this.

So, It is almost over. One day left and then back to London. I am not looking forward to the 'good old british weather'
