The first port of call and day of touring was Athens.

Temple Of Athena

Dad’s pictures and cine suggest that we basically spent the day at The Acropolis looking at the various temples and The Parthenon.

This was my first ever day of serious sightseeing tourism away from home. I remember feeling hot during it and very tired at the end of it. In truth I don’t remember all that much about it.

Thank goodness, then, for the pictures and 140 seconds of film, between 2’30” and 4’50” in the cine.
