Another beautiful day in Athens! Today's main activity was a trip to the National Archeaological Museum. It contains thousands of artifacts from the civilizations in Greece, covering the period from neolithic times to about 500 AD. Quite an amazing and interesting place. Once again we were subjected to the throngs of people who insist on taking a photo of every exhibit, and to spend 10 minutes focussing on the subject and getting exceptionally huffy with anyone who dares to come within 5 metres of their shot. You want a pristine photo of every exhibit? Buy a book from the bloody bookshop! (This fine photo of Mrs. Chickenlegs took about 3 seconds: point, click, walk away...easy!)
As for our luggage that is currently enjoying a stay in Munich, there are still no clear answers as to when it will arrive in Athens. We have decided to just forge ahead with our travel plans and will be leaving on Tuesday morning for a tour of the classic sites. We return to Athens on Friday, and hope to have our luggage waiting here for us. It will be a joyful and tearful reunion. Safe or not, we think that Lufthansa, and all airlines, are desperate to start making money again!
Nice rack on Mrs. Chicken Legs ... grrrrr ;-)
