Yassou Athens! That also means goodbye.

Our adventure in Athens is coming to an end, were catching a 7:30am ferry to Santorini and I could not be more excited! Athens was fun, but I don't feel like I need to spend any more time here. We went out with some people we met in our hostel last night, two from Ontario and four from Orange County. We ended up at a club called Havanna, it had a rooftop bar with a view of the Acropolis lit up at night, it was beautiful! Then we danced the night away to some classic greek music...Lady Gaga and Kesha! The bartender gave us all free shots of tequila, the reason is still unknown, but I think it may be because we all tipped him tips are uncommon at bars here? We woke up early to enjoy our free continental breakfast of cold bread with jam and warm oj, then hit the town! We took the metro to the Acropolis.  First we went to the new museum located across the street, it was incredible! Rick Steves just posted on his facebook wall today that it has his "vote for the best new sight in Europe"! It was really cool, the floor is made of glass and you can see the archaeologists excavating below! Maybe I'm an anthro nerd, but it was my favorite part of the day! We were starving and couldn't handle the thought of climbing up to the Acropolis without food, so we went to a tiny local cafe. I had the most amazing lunch, Ciabatta bread with mozzerella, tomato and pesto. Mmmmm, I love the food here. The hike to the Acropolis was much easier than it looked, but it was extremely sweaty. Once we got to the top it was completely worth it. The view was unreal, once I figure out how to post pictures on here, you'll see! I could not believe how big it was, it took them 9 years to build the entire thing and it is just crumbling to peices now. There is a huge renovation project that has been going on since 1983, I doubt it will ever end.

Sarah and I just booked our Hostel in Santorini. Were staying in Perissa, where there are black sand beaches! We are going to be more than happy just laying on the beach all day, but it sounds like there are tons of outdoor activites to do there too. So long Athens.
