Europe Trip: Bye mormor and morfar - Hello Acropolis

Day 34: Mormor and morfar going back to Sweden and we explore Acropolis in Athens

It was a sad day to drop off mormor and morfar at the airport in Athens. But we had a great time with them and the boys got to show their drumming skills before they left (the house we rented came with a drumset!!!)

Taking a selfie with mormor :-)

Bye! :-(

Fun at the balcony

It was time to start exploring Athens and our first goal was Acropolis. 

Fun fact: An acropolis or akro meaning "highest, topmost, outermost" and polis meaning "city", acropolis was in ancient Greece a settlement, especially a citadel, built upon an area of elevated ground — frequently a hill with precipitous sides, chosen for purposes of defense. However, Acropolis in Athens is known to be "The Acropolis".

Theatre of Dionysus

Parthenon

Erechtheion

On our way back to the car we found a tortoises that was not really scared of us at all. We watched him for a while and it kept walking around, eating and doing what it normally does :-)
