Athens

This afternoon walking through Ermou Street to Monastiraki.

Lots of people. At Monastiraki there was a rooftop coffeeshop with a great view of the Akropolis.

Also, great (fake Bougainvilla)

Athens

Today it rained for a while, still cloudy now.
I looked up my weekly run/hike/walk totals:

Quite a big increase over the previous weeks. Due mostly because of all the walking done in Athens!

I went to the Dutch Embassy this morning. 
Forget about getting a new passport here, it might take 2 months, would cost 160 euros and may not be ready by the time I leave.

I will do it next year in Phoenix...

The Stadium, first Olympic Games were held here.

Walked through the National Gardens...

shopping at the Agora Market

Athens

I want to get a new Dutch passport (the old one has no chip, the new one does), so I went shopping for a photo place to get new pictures. Walked 4km to find a place.
In between walked past the Akademia

After a siesta back to Septembriou street for Chinese New Year celebrations (Year of the Horse)
