Today was our last day and we've just spent our time walking around Athens!
Our ferry got us into Athens around 6 am and we took the Metro back to the hostel. It was nice that we were staying in the same place because we knew exactly where we were going. We left our bags in storage and went right to the Acropolis so we were there when it opened. It was really amazing, and big! But for some reason it didn't quite live up to the pyramids. Maybe it's just that we've seen so many awesome sites and we're getting spoiled. Don't get me wrong though, it was still really awesome! :)
After the Acropolis, we were really tired and we came back to get checked into our room and napped. We then had lunch at a little cafe and did some shopping!
We've been a little nervous about our flight home because almost everything across Europe has been canceled due to the Iceland Volcano. Now that the ash is moving south, we've seen more airports shutting down. Last update though - Athens and Madrid are still open! It's a good thing we're not flying back through Amsterdam though, because they are shutdown!
We're getting up in 7 hours (3am) so we can take the bus to the airport for our 7:30 am flight! Wish us luck!
