Tues - Thurs 23 - 25 October 2018
We have been summoned! The nice people at Nissan, to whom we have paid a deposit for an all-electric Leaf, want us to go to Athens for a discussion and a test drive. We had been thinking for some time that we'd like to see the new Acropolis museum and visit the Parthenon, so we booked an apartment and the bus and took off on our holidays.

The bus stopped at the Olympia Plaza just past Patras, where we spotted this beauty - the first fast charger we've seen in Greece. We knew there was one somewhere around here, but very excited to actually find it!
At the Nissan showroom, examining the merchandise. Soon after this, Dave was brave enough to take to the downtown Athens streets for a test drive. I was not brave enough. Dave loved it. Our car is in Greece, waiting for us to find the rest of the dosh to liberate it. Soon, hopefully.
Next day, on the tourist trail, taking selfies at the Acropolis ...
and at the ancient Agora
Top of the world at the Parthenon
and after lunch, in the museum.
I rather liked this, I'm sure we can find a spot for something similar around the house.
What we did bring home was a little startled owl, a replica of a symbol on a coin from 400 BC. I like it in the arched window.
