The Academy of Athens

The Academy aka Akademia was founded by Plato in 387 BC
served as a school of science, research and development, humanities, fine arts, political sciences.
But this one was built in 1926 and it's still in use.
Statue of Athena
She's the Goddes of heroic endevour
on the other side was Apollo, the son of Zeus
it's REALLLLLLY high up there
Mr. Plato was starring at me >_<
While Mr. Socrates was pondering where is my monkey tail
beautifully engraved marble
together they guarded the main entrance
JS said he looked like a GUARD too
my imperial guard...guarding my LV bag
:D

Packing up.....

Monkey is packing up to go home...
home to Malaysia.

I don't understand we have so many bags
and yet couldn't find space,
looks like some things are meant to stay.

*yawn*
I'm so lazy now~~~~
Lazy to get on the plane,

to unpack all the luggages back in KL,
to get my bum back to work on Monday afternoon.
*yawn~~~~*

and most of all....to adjust back to Msia's time
which is 6 hours away.
I am SOOO gonna screw my sleeping/eating time.

*YAAAWWWWWNNNNNN*

Chocolat Cafe

Chocolat Cafe is a must go whenever u are on your climb to the Acropolis
erm actually we were not on our climb up coz we wanna save it for another beautiful day

once u entered the cafe, dun waste time lookin for seats
instead take the elevator to the top floor
there's more NICER seats there!!!


breathtaking view of the Acropolis fr where we sat
nice huh?

we were lucky there's ENGLISH in their menu....

This cafe is Saint Veeny's fav...
she'll drop by here everytime she visits Athens.JS had salad of aragula with tomatini and more sun dried tomatoes in balsamic vinegar
served with pine seeds and goat cheese
extremely fresh!!!!while Monkey had this

strawberry waffles with more strawberries served with Greek ice creamwait, I'm not done yet with the description...

drizzled with honey and more strawberries dipped in caramelised pistachios

Couchie George had the same waffle
and I wondered how the heck did I finish it all by myself
a waffle 1.5x the size of my face.

Saint Veeny had a cuppa
so she can save some space in her stomach for dinnerJS drew the Acropolis
on my notebook

actually those ugly stilts + pillars were drawn by Monkey
