THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM

When we got there we looked down at our feet and saw lots of acient ruins underneath the safety glass floor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The view from the acropolis museum . I think it's quite pretty.

 

 

In our game Zoe and I had to go around the museum finding Athenian statues and putting stickers of them on our poster. (See above).

At first I thought Athens was dirty and stinky, but then when we went into the good parts of town I thought it wasn't so bad because of all the amazing artefacts you pass by.

We accidentally ended up on Mars Hill when we tried to go to the real Acropolis (but they wouldn't let us in at 5.27 even though they were supposed to let people in until 5.30). From Mars Hill you can see the entire of Athens and it is beautiful, amazingly huge and, from where I was looking, very clean (which is weird because when I was actually down there it was quite dirty in places). Mars Hill was extraordinarily slippery because it is made of white and red marble (the marble patterns between the colours were also very interesting and delicate). The marble on the hill was slippery because people have been walking on it, to see the view, for over 2500 years.

That's the view from Mars Hill and that''s what I meant when I said it was beautiful.

 

Trains in Athens look like the trains from Subway Surfers (if you know that game please explain to someone else what it is).

 

The whole train is covered in graffiti and it looks way cool.

OFF TO ROME

(We apologise for the short intermission while we fly)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have an apartment in Rome for our stay. My first impressions were big ,comfortable and amazing that it had an elevator I think this is amazing because apartments are just houses rented out on something like Ebay.

We wandered out into the bustling city to hunt out the Trevi fountain. It's a short walk from our apartment which is in the centre of Rome. Trevi fountain is an ancient and interesting fountain that shows off old roman characterises in their statues. Out there it is nearly impossible not to photobomb people because there are so many people taking photos.
