DAY 2

We woke up to a quite windy but very sunny and beautiful weather. Now, all five of us together we tried to plan our few days. Plan for today:
- find a close place for breakfast
- walk to the metro station
- take the metro to the Olympic Stadium / check out the Olympic Stadium
- take the metro to The Mall and shop like there's no tomorrow
- home for dinner

Said, done!
The closest place for breakfast was a 7 minutes walk away. It was already lunchtime and the restaurant wasn't serving breakfast anymore so we had amazing salads and club sandwiches. Restaurant: Lontos Cafe-Bar with a beautiful view to the acropolis.
Thanks to google maps we found a very easy way to the metro station Monastiraki where we bought a 24hours ticket and afterwords took the metro to the Olympic Stadium. The Stadium was absolutely breath taking ! Even this was only used once it was in a good condition. Police drove by a view times and people where walking around with dogs, kids with their skateboards, bikers and rollerblader.
We walked for an hour around the whole stadium until we've seen everything.. back at the metro station we couldn't wait to get to the mall to eat something and shop! 

We where shopping all afternoon on 4 floors. By the time we got out of the mall it was dark and ice cold. We couldn't wait to come home, change an eat something.
We went to the Soho Bar and without wanting to harm someone - the food was cold, the drinks had so much alcohol in them we just couldn't drink is, the waitress unorganized and we payed a lot more that we had to because the bill was not right and none understood what we where saying. All in all not very recommendable. 
And so our day had quite a bad ending.
