We left Delphi on the 9 AM (or 9:20 as it was late) bus to Athens, arriving at around noon. We had to take a bus to get to our hotel. We checked in at our hotel, then went to the National Archaelogical Museum. We hadn't seen it the first time around and it seemed more interesting after having visited the islands and ruins. The main highlights were the magnificent gold Mask of Agamemnon and the collection of Mycenaean antiquities.

After the museum, we had our last gyros and spent the last of our euros. Tomorrow morning we fly from Athens to London, where we'll visit with family for 4 days in Britain. We've had a incredible experience in Greece and are sorry to see it end.
