The day . . .

As this was the view from our hotel whilst we ate baklava, I have no need to tell you where we are . . .

When I was around 16 - a long, long time ago - I was fortunate enough to be able to go on a school trip, a classical cruise. We lived on board this old British India Ship and were taken on a tour of various European centres. I don’t remember much of it, but I do remember being in total wonderment walking round the Acropolis and this has stayed with me as I have come across various Greek writers over the years.

One day - I thought - I will return.

Tomorrow is the day . . .

Meanwhile, here is the Acropolis by night from our hotel in Athens.
