Last full day in Athens so we took a grand tour. Started at Socrates’ prison, then to the Acropolis, where we discovered there were no more tickets for the morning. Then to 1896 Olympic stadium and a souvlaki lunch. Back out for a second trip to the Acropolis this evening, this time with reserved tickets. Ended up there as they were setting up the Olympic torch, which is hanging out at the Parthenon for the night. Happened to meet another family on a sabbatical adventure (a little different from ours: they’re living in France for the year and in Greece during a two-week school holiday), and we enjoyed a late dinner out together. A great sendoff. Tomorrow, onto Tanzania.

I have a rental bike! And despite the protestations of the shop owner, I also have a helmet. “It will just make you sweat unnecessarily,” he told me. I assured him I would be okay.
