A month in Athens



En France on a nos "tetes de negre", en Grece ils ont leurs "petits negres". Les patisseries grecques sont pleines de creme et a tomber !!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Down at the swimming pool 



With Mina and friends



With Sassa

Just few pictures of our new busy social life !!!!!!!!!






So unfortunately Bella would have been miserable here so we sadly left her in London. My hubby fell in love with Tolis when he was very young. He is now 4 months and a half. 





The balcony still with some crap on it ...





The bedrooms - ours still without a bed.



The study/gym room




Bathrooms





Living/dinning room and kitchen

C'est loin d'etre fini mais j'ai entendu que certains voulaient voir des photos de l'appart ...




So, to update everyone ...  life is gooooooooooood so far !!!! We are settling down slowly in the flat and I am getting used to our new life in our new country :-)   

Few things I have already learnt ...  some basics road rules : 1. When the traffic light is orange, you should accelerate ! If you dare to slow down to stop, you are being honked and shouted at !! 2. The flash lights to show that you turn or you change lane clearly do not exist on Greek cars. 3. At a traffic light, you don't start when the green light is on, you should start when the little crossing green light man becomes red. Here again, if you don't you are being honked and and shouted at ! 4. You can always go 20 kilometers above the normal speed limit, the cops don't bother for less.  


But to be honest, so far, this is the only downside ( compared to all the upsides )  I found to our life here  :-)
