Whew! After over 24 hours of travel, we made it to beautiful Athens, Greece!
It was my first international and red-eye flight, as it was for most of us. We connected through Zurich, which allowed us a chance to stop by some of the stores in the airport – the chocolate was especially delicious. Seeing the Alps peeking through the clouds as we flew over was breathtaking. So much beauty!!! Even though I was worried about the 6 hour time change, the adjustment hasn’t been bad.
Our hotel is located right in the heart of Athens with a view of the Acropolis. After a bit of time to relax, we went to dinner at God’s Restaurant for a traditional (read: HUGE) dinner of Greek salad, moussaka, spinach pie, dollmas, wine and Greek donuts with honey. The people are so friendly and hospitable! I’m so excited for the rest of our journey 🙂
