B*I*N*G*O

There was a BINGO game everyday on the ship and I could not resist since the prize was very enticing!! If you were to get BINGO in the first 40 numbers called the prize was 3,000 Euros!!!! That sounded really good to me so I drug my husband up to Club 33 for a game of BINGO.

I was so excited that I called BINGO in like 15 numbers which is IMPOSSIBLE if you understand the rules to the game which apparently were lost in translation as they were explained in like 6 languages! I was embarrassed when I realized that the entire card had to be filled in order to win rather than the row that I had on my card!

So we continued to play....and what do you know?? I called BINGO again! Everyone kind of looked at me like really?? So I did what any good wife would do.....sent my husband up to verify the card was a winner:) Thank goodness it was because I would have never lived that one down!! We won 210 Euro which was super exciting!

Next port Piraeus (Athens).....

Our next stop was Athens, Greece!

Today we visited the modern day Olympic stadium....
very different than the ancient stadium we visited yesterday!
**If you look closely you'll be able to see the rings just above Colton's head.

.....leading us to the next stop

and up to the Parthenon....

One of the first things that we noticed as we were walking up the trail to the Parthenon were the stray dogs EVERYWHERE (here are just a few)! Now, try to keep 5 animal loving kids away from these dogs was quite the challenge to say the least!!!!

On our way back to the port we drove past a Sunday street market. It was packed, went for MANY blocks, and did I mention packed??

Minor traffic jam!
Is there a problem making a left turn from the right lane while cutting off 2 more cars????...Apparently not for this driver!
Thought this spice shop looked interesting...

Goodbye Athens!

1st stop.....Olympia, Greece

We sailed for an entire day before arriving at Katakolon, Greece on December 18th. A bus drove us to Olympia for a bit of history....

Entering the ancient Olympic stadium...

Inside the stadium...

Did you know that all of the athletes competing in the games here were naked?....Interesting!

The remains of the Temple of Zeus is located very close to the stadium....

We learned that sticks are very important to 2 year olds:)

After touring the area (a LOT to see), we rode the bus back to a little

Greek restaurant to taste some traditional food, drinks (minus the Coke) and dance!

Lauren and Sarah went down to join the dances...

Lemon trees were everywhere....
The next port was not far away!
