I am writing this at 2pm on a ferry with waves crashing on the windows while stapes, ryry, marcopolo and maca play 500. My favourite place so far is Delphi, an ancient city clinging to the side of Mt Parnassus overlooking a beautiful valley with a blue haze, that's either smoke from all the Greeks burning olive branches or the mystic blue light of Delphi. We walked up the sacred way passing many monuments from all the different city states from all around Greece. The only monument that has been restored is the Athenian monument just below the temple of Apollo which is now only 7 columns backed by huge cliffs. The next thing up the sacred way was the theatre and even further was the stadium that looked perfect for throwing a frisbee within its banks of seats. All of these complexes surrounded by trees, purple red and yellow flowers and plenty of cats.
Athens is a very tall city very different from Auckland with the landmarks being roads and squares not hills and parks. Even though Auckland is larger then Athens in area, the shear number of people and buildings makes Athens look much larger. Everything in Athens is much cheaper, I only spent 2-5€ at a time. Even though Athens is a bit of a getto it is still amazing, the history of the place is great and I enjoy relating what I see to what I've learnt.
