Arrived in Tanzania by overnight flight. One day in Arusha, then a weeklong safari.

Trekking (Roaming Roots) 3:00:00 [2] 7.2 mi (25:00 / mi)
shoes: Altra Lone Peak 7 (magenta)

Seems we’re chasing the Olympic torch around Athens. Today we hauled our packs to the Olympic museum (not to be confused with the 1896 Olympic stadium) en route to the airport. We arrived an hour after the torch had passed through but there was a big party going on and the museum was free for the day in celebration. Fitting end to our time in Greece.

Trekking (Roaming Roots) 5:00:00 [2] 12.1 mi (24:48 / mi)
shoes: Altra Lone Peak 7 (magenta)

Last full day in Athens so we took a grand tour. Started at Socrates’ prison, then to the Acropolis, where we discovered there were no more tickets for the morning. Then to 1896 Olympic stadium and a souvlaki lunch. Back out for a second trip to the Acropolis this evening, this time with reserved tickets. Ended up there as they were setting up the Olympic torch, which is hanging out at the Parthenon for the night. Happened to meet another family on a sabbatical adventure (a little different from ours: they’re living in France for the year and in Greece during a two-week school holiday), and we enjoyed a late dinner out together. A great sendoff. Tomorrow, onto Tanzania.

Final morning on Poros. Four days of a bit more intensity than casual walking and Garmin tells me I'm overreaching. Namibia is going to be fun...

Returning my rental. Sad. I wrote (or reworked from the blog) 89 pages in the last 48 hours. I'll call that a success.
