I slept in finally! In a real bed! No schedule. No wake up calls. Very nice...
I climbed to the top of the Acropolis at noon - it was VERY hot - I'm an idiot. Not much to report other than it was lots of heat, lots of walking, and lots of teenage tourists being obnoxious and loud. I went back to the hotel and took a nap after the Acropolis.
Later on, I attempted to experience the Greek night life by going to Gazi (an area with lots of bars, cafes, and music, so I was told), but I was mostly tired and lame and had no friends so I didn't really do anything. Travelling alone in a large city isn't very fun I've decided. It seems that I get lost everywhere I go in Athens. The streets are very sneaky and poorly labeled. And when they are labeled, it's in Greek, heh. I was able to find a big event in Gazi. It was the last day of the Synch music festival. There was a block that was lit up all weird and I heard trance-like electronic music coming from inside. I finally found the crowd (and the entrance), but tickets were something like 50 euro, which I didn't have on me and may not have spent even if I did have it. So, I just loitered near the entrance with a crowd of people and street food vendors for a bit. Then I went back toward the metro entrance and at at some restaurant called Pasta La Vista. Quite possibly the best spaghetti arribiata I've ever had. At least Greece has good food.
