Athens
Also back again after 31 and 26 years !
And was both a pleasant and horrible experience!
The economical crisis has really hit Athens hard and terrible.
I know we didn´t stay at the richest quater: Pireus street,-Omoendo
square,
but I haven´t seen so many poor people sleeping in the streets
og begging before,
-not even in istanbul! Women,men and children. Such a sad sight.
People are desperate and lots of police every where,-only had one bad
experience: saw
a young man trying to rob an old couple right in front of our hotel
( hotel Chic ).
The pleasant thing is: The Greeks are still so nice and helpfull,
-trying to keep the good spirits up.
Everywhere we were met with a big smile, and a super service,
-and we all ended up having a wonderful time in Athens.
