When Nicole originally booked her trip to London, we thought we might take an overnight trip to Bath and Oxford, which are both just an couple of hours by train. However I had a work conflict that came up and I needed to be at some meetings in Cyprus for two days. So we took a flight instead!
The two days in Cyprus I was quite busy with work, but the conference was at a very nice beach hotel! So Nicole enjoyed the beach, the pool and the spa for a couple of days. We also had a big night out for dinner with my colleagues and they invited Nicole along and were delighted to talk with both of us.
The day we flew back to London, I scheduled our flight to connect through Athens, Greece and we had a twelve hour layover. So yeah, we are kinda rock stars to just spend a day in Athens! First stop - the Acropolis and the Parthenon!
View over the city from the Acropolis
We were glad to see the Acropolis in the morning - it was more crowded and hotter as the day went on!
The Temple of Nike was my favorite - can't really say why, I just liked it!
After the Acropolis, we made our way down into the city and found a café for lunch. How amazing does this food look?!
It was delicious and the waiter was super nice to us. Even brought us a second glass of wine, on the house!
We did a bit more wandering and window shopping, then made a second stop for ice cream. Best days ever when its hot enough for ice cream!!
We had a great day and although it was exhausting, I'm so glad we made the effort to see another city!
