End of Athens

After we got off the ship and checked in and took a nap, we were back on the red sightseeing bus. We stopped at Hadrian's Gate from Roman times around 100AD. The cool thing about this picture is that you can see the Acropolis through the arch in the top left.

We also saw the temple to Zeus with 12 of the over 100 columns still standing. You can also see the one that was toppled in the 1700's by a big storm. The one fourth of Athens around these columns was all built up until the 1960's when the land was acquired for archeological digging. 

Finally we saw the 1896 Olympic stadium. It looks positively modern.
