After a 30 hour journey to Athens and barely any sleep we were off to see Delphi after a 3 hour bus ride, with a stop to buy some food, we arrived there to the amazing ancient site, and our first look at ancient Greece we walked through the magnificent ruins at Delphi amazed to finally being able too see the place we’ve been learning about at school. The temple of Apollo a great display of ancient Greek engineering. After walking through the ruins to see the theatre and the Athenian treasury we stopped for some lunch and a well needed rest outside the museum steps. Inside the museum there was some amazing Greek art to see such as the charioteer. The next day we were off to the archaeology museum to see more amazing art such as the bronze statue of Zeus/Poseidon and the gold mask of Agamemnon we were off to the acropolis and the Parthenon atop it with the massive temple overlooking the rest of Athens it was surreal to finally see it in person. After a trip to see ancient Corinth a city thousands of years old and more amazing Greek statues we proceeded to Mycenae the place where the golden mask of Agamemnon was found. The citadel surrounded by a wall built with rocks so big the Greeks believed Cyclopes built it. We then boarded a ferry for a relaxing boat ride on our way to Rome.
