Athens - Day 6

Visiting the Kerameikos, a pretty burial ground with the odd tortoise walking about.

Athens - Day 5

Lizzy at the Roman Agora. There are loads of interesting ruins of old buildings with columns and statues scattered about the city.

Athens - Day 4

Lizzy visiting The Temple of Olympian Zeus ...



And next in a large park in Athens hunting for a hotel ...



Then finally Lizzy enjoying a beer after a much exploring.

Athens - Day 3

A day of sunshine, so we took Lizzy The Lizard to the Acropolis.



Here's the Parthenon (above) and the Erechtheion (below).





Lizzy on leaving the Acropolis. Unfortunately all photos of the lizard within the Acropolis needed to be deleted: the guards would not allow pictures of toys because they were degrading. I'm sure the petty attitude of these officials is not a reflection of the good people of the city. God forbid what they'll think if they ever go to Disney World!



Above and below, here's Lizzy at the Theatre of Dionysos.

Athens - Day 2

A day of occasional showers ... as this Athens skyline shows.



Here's Lizzy with the Acropolis rock in the background.





We decided to save our visit for another day with better weather.

Athens - Day 1

Lizzy came along on a holiday to Athens, starting with a trip to the Olympic Stadium to watch a Greece v's Luxembourg in a World Cup qualifier.



With the light on the water, the stadium looks pretty impressive from the outside.



Lizzy watching the game.



Inside the stadium, above. Incidentally Greece won 2-1, though Papadopolus did score a quite spectacular own-goal that would make any striker proud.

London

We took Lizzy on a day-trip to London.



Here's Lizzy in front of Big Ben and Parliament ...



And here is Lizzy in front of the National Gallery overlooking Trafalgar Square ...
