We arrived in Civitavecchia and walked around the town. We picked up a couple of souvenirs and of course had a gelato :-) .

Our next port was Piraeus. We hired a private tour taxi driver for Athens Greece. The web site is www.athenstaxi.org. Our guide spoke very good English (used to live in the US) and was very knowledgable. He took us to the Parthenon, Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, the Olympic Stadium, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Changing of the Guards, and the shopping district known as Plaka. He also took us to a Greek restaurant for lunch that is frequented by the locals…..Don got the lentil soup…..I experimented and got the lamb and couscous dish. Ah yes, Don also got Ouzo……when in Greece, do as the Greeks :-)
