ATHENS - 18 OCTOBER 2009
wake wanting to change rooms. The hotel breakfast (5 €) consisted of bad coffee, juice and muffins pot of buttered bread and quince paste or something similar. The hotel manager, very edge did not want us to change rooms at the end we got a strong emphasis.
We moved underground to the Plaza "Syntagma" to see the changing of the guard. We were wrong direction on the subway and arrived late, also because the reception lady was preparing breakfast there (at reception) was very lentita it.
The changing of the guard we liked, but only saw a little bit. We took a picture with a guard, we try to put 4 at the same time to save the 4 pics and suddenly we see that start hitting shots with his cane on the ground that we get scared! Quickly appeared that monitors military and told us one at a time. Please note to avoid shocks. So I then did not dare to approach.

We are dedicated to walking in the downtown and then went for a walk in the Plaka flea market. From Plaka and Monastiraki up well. We ate next to a kind of cathedral or large church that did not discover that it was. We tried the famous moussaka, a typical cheese platter were delicious. Sturbucks then eat cake (marble, 2 chocolates, cheese cake and brownie) plus related cafes. (And I was going to plan Mediterranean diet ...)
Our walk through the center of Athens:
Street Artists and greedy:
Monastiraki Square and Plaka Market :
Then we went back to Syntagma and Plaka to catch the bus "Cityseeing" the characteristic that gives you around town, so tanteábamos a little the ground and then kick the next few days. We found very Agustito two laps, the first to move us taking pictures and the second to move to where is the University Library and the Academy of Arts.
found that the large number of fruit trees in every street there are orange. Then we went to Omonia Square to see if the mall was open Holdon Center, the Greek equivalent of the English Court. Then walk back to the hotel, lacquer and fimos us to find a place to dine.
Smile dined at the restaurant (9 € / pax). We tested dolmades (rice wrapped in cabbage), the Pita is very good and finally our first Greek yogurt with honey loved us too. Also a piece of cake Ravani, hazelnut biscuit type wet but not very successful. Then try to have a coffee but it was almost 1:00 in a low gear and Sunday so the walk pa.
