Woke up fairly early this morning so I could go to the Parthenon before it got really hot out. Unfortunately however I was at the Acroplolis grounds before 10 am and it was already +33 with no wind! And you have to walk not only up hill to the Parthenon but it's very steep up hill and it's about a 20 minute walk. So I was dying when I got to the top but it was a great view of Athens and the Parthenon was a great view to see aswell.
Didn't stay up as long as I would have liked too but the heat was ridiculous and there is no shade at the top because your at the peak of the mountain so nothing but the Parthenon which gives off no shade. I left and walked down the hill way more fun than walking up. I got on the bus and did the green line today, having finished the red line the day before.
I knew this line wasn't going to be as long or as interesting as the red line. But it gave me more things to see in Athens and soaked up some of my day. It was a drive mostly down by the ports and by the sea. I stopped and had lunch by the ports and cried when the cruise ships came and left. Well not cried but wished I could be on them.
I finished the green line and it was a bit of a process getting back to my hostel but I finally made it back. I packed my stuff tonight and got myself ready to leave for Berlin Germany in the morning!
