Wanderlust: Acropolis III

Stop Press!

Trying to finish Cyprus trip. Four new videos uploaded into previous posts.

After trotting around Southeast Asia over the summer, I'm now back in the UK - Cambridge to be exact. Am trying my best to update as frequently as my clinical course will allow.

Entries on Italy and France two winters ago have been put on hold indefinitely. Read: possibly never. But we shall see.

Entries on Greece and Turkey last winter have also been put on hold for the time being.

Acropolis III

The Acropolis is amazing. There are only four structures on the large plateau: the Propylaia, the temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheum and the characteristic Parthenon. There could possibly have been more that were destroyed during times of war but its current spaciness combined with its loftiness give it a godly atmosphere. Ascending the marble steps, I hear the rustle of togas around me. Pulling mine closer me against the biting wind, I humble myself in the shadows of the looming Propylaia up ahead.
