I had read on Tripadvisor that it was a good idea to visit the new Acropolis museum before actually going so we spent a couple of hours there. It has been built so that you can see a great view of the acropolis from floor to ceiling windows on the top floor whilst looking at the antiquities. In the display of the frieze from the Parthenon there are gaps ready for the return of the so called 'Elgin marbles'. The greeks are arguing that there is now no excuse for the British Museum hanging on to them as one excuse was that they would not be properly displayed. Everywhere we go there are mentions of Elgin's 'pillaging' - he took quite a lot.

There was a massive storm whilst we were inside but still muggy when we left so we returned to the apartment for a rest.
