We went and climbed lykavitos today. We get off the subway and all the buildings are two big we can't see the hill. So we pull out he map a genlman stops asks what we are trying to find we point to the hill on the map he points behind us and said just go straight well that is what we do. We could see the hill on the other side of the train station. Still a little ways away. As we go straight we pass a hospital lots of cafes and flower shops.
We start going up and up and up all theses stairs soooo many stairs.at the top of all the stairs is a rock wall.... So out comes the map. We see the train to go up the hill should be right there no such luck. So out comes the map well we don't know there are some over grown stairs let's try ok dirt little path let's take it. Well we come to what looks like a better path. So up we go up this winding path that semed to never end. At one point we are stopped was watching a cat, and I am like is that a turtle it is so a turtle. So we stand and watch this thing on a platform below us. And it is so a turtle just munching away.... Like what is going on we are quite a way up. Up around the bend was the top. There was a very small church an out door restaurant. The view was amazing we could see the Acropolis, ocean and mountains. There were alot of pools on the roofs.
After our descending down the mountain, we got back on the subway. We went into paka a part of town that is were the locals go. There were lots of places to go shopping. Lots of the stores were 3 and 4 stories high. Shauna found a place online that is a creape restaurant. It was in this neighborhood so we decided to find it. So off we go in the kind of general area. We think we are going the right way on the street we wondered up one street nop not it. So we ceep going. We stopped at a corner to check the map and this guy asked where we want to go. So we show him and he goes how did u get here. So the road we thought maybe we should go up was the road to go up. So we back track and go up the road.
We come to another intersection were the guy said to ask someone at this point as we are standing here pondering what way to go. This very old dog he was black with a white specialed face from age comes over and I did not pick my hand up, so he comes over sniffs my hand then moves so it is on his head so I move it down to pet his check well that was it he was in love started to lean on me. He was a little over weight john would think he was the ideal weight. His coat wqs shiny and look very healthy no colar but was looked after. Shauna would not pet him. Well his younger friend came over once he saw me giving out pats he was in the same condition so I did not mind patting him eather. They were some of the cleanest dogs we have sean.
So we picked a Couse said good bye to the dogs and away we go. Well they decided to fallow us well the old one walked with us and the young one went ahead. We found the street we need so we are standing there trying to decide what way to go up or down and the dogs start barking and chasing the cars and scooters. We go to walk down the road one way and there is a guy on television side walk so we wait for him to pass well young guy did not like him he barked at him and even started to chase him then he nipped him on the back of the leg.... Oh my so we go on our way with our body gaurds we passed an old man in a parking lot but they left him alone. So we stop when we noticed that the street has ended and turned in to the street we wondered up earlier... We did see one place on the other side of the street that could have been it but shauna didn't think that was the name so we were standing in this side waking Streator trying to come up with what to do. The dogs both sat down as if to just wait till the crazy humans figure out what to do. So I decided to dig out my camera and get some pictures of our body gaurds. As I go to get shaunas pictures with them I back up and up and fall right on my ass guess there were stairs behind me. Thankfully I did not hurt my jacket my elbow is red. So I was trying to get a picture with old guy and he put his paw on my. Just like miss mya my heart broke right there, oh how I miss my dogs.
So we are both starving so we decided to go look at the menu for the two restaurants that we saw on this road. The first one was fully in greek not going there. The second one was full of creaps yaaaaaa we found it so excited.... So we go in well the dogs that followed us. Oh yes as we went back up the road we re passed the old man in the parking lot he goes looks like you got body gaurds. One guy on a scooter tryed to kick the dog. Then we passed a poor guy and the young one started to size him up I could she the hacks starting to raise so I stoped clucked to him when he ear turned I said non of that and he turned and joined us.
So as we ented the restaurant they started to cry.
The creaps were amazing I had cheass pineapple and sweet and sour sauce in mine it was amazing then the pig I am we both got two. I got cinnamon and butter and sugur. It was so good can not weight to go back.
After we were done we walked down the street we saw a sign for a bath thing. So we decided to walk down to check it out. We passed another restaurant that had alot of people at it. The was a man sitting out side and asked if we were sisters we said no so he was like then very close friends. We said yes. And guess who was napping on the other side of the street. We did not wake our body gaurds up we felt safe with were we were. So the road just ended we did not find the bath thing. So we turned around and went back the way we know. As we were passing the restaurant a guy stopped us telling us to come eat we said we just ate. He then asked us were we were from gave us a card and had us guess we he was from. Turns out he is a greek Canadian lol then he gave us a hug and then took shaunas hand and made us come see the restaurant on the inside told us about the live music on the weekends. As we were leaving our body gaurds woke up and just looked at us they did not get up.
Away we went
Did more window shopping, then headed home.
Very fun day
