Stop #6 Athens (again)

This stop in Athens was unique... in its own way. We did not have much time in the city, so we returned to our favorite outdoor market. We bought some souvenirs, but it started to get dark so we decided to head back to the hostel.

This time, our hostel was located in a very different part of town. Our pace quickened as we realized that we were in a sketchy district of Athens. There were people on the street coughing, prostitutes chatting with potential clients, and we even passed a group of people who were injecting themselves with drugs (we saw the syringes on the ground the next day).

The only picture that I have from our rendezvous in Athens is one of Sarah asleep in the airport (with Blanket, courtesy of our Santorini hostel).
