Life on the Avenue

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!

Athens - Greece Sailing Trip

You may have noticed that I haven't been blogging for the past week or so. The reason for this is that I've been away travelling in Greece.......and what a trip it's been!

We arrived last Friday night to Athens and on Saturday morning we got up early at 8am to visit the ruins of the Acropolis before we had to go to Lavrion Port to pick up out sail boat.

Here's a few pics of the Acropolis which was quite amazing. I really hope we can go back again some day as our visit was not long enough and we were not able to take a guided tour.

For the one night in Athens we stayed in the Parthenon Hotel which was ideally located close to the ruins.

The weather in Athens was just perfect - warm but not too uncomfortable and cool in the evening.

We got back to our hotel about 10am took taxi to Lavrion Port where we met up with the last member of our group (the Captain!) and saw the boat that we would be calling home for the week. Watch out for my next few blogs all about our sailing trip.....
