We had decided to go to the beaches, but missed the first bus, so mooched around the Acropolis and saw other free things we'd missed, (for instance the tortoise), including real archaeology in progress.

| Oh, and here's the Acropolis again! 😊 |
 |
| The magpies here look quite weird |

The archaeology is still in progress

| This guy was charging for tourists to have their photo taken with him, but I snuck a photo while he wasn't looking! |

Finally we got on the bus to the beaches, sat uptop to see what there was to see, (and honestly it wasn't much).
Went to the end to Lake Voula.... which was a tourist trap.

Apparently spa water and spa fish, but cost 15 euros each to go in, so we sat and had lunch in the restaurant, (a milkshake, a beer and a kids meal to share cost 28 euros). The meal was meatballs and sweet potato fries, and was plenty for both of us.
We walked a little way back to a cove where I had a swim in the sea, and then at the beach. The we made our way back to the bus to return to town. I'd wanted to view the Roman Baths excavation, and we were heading to the markets again for a meal when Darryl changed his mind, so we came back home and got a few things from the shop just across the road.

| Statues of politicians as far as I could make out |
I had an occasional cough and only a tiny bit of a sore throat and swollen glands.
