Athens Day 3 Morning

At Meliá Athens “The Journey” through gastronomy starts on daily basis in the main restaurant ‘Vivendo’ where the full buffet breakfast is served.

Breakfast at the Melia Athens Hotel was almost the same.

 I seldom take kiwi but this kiwi was tempting enough.


With the Acropolis and Lycabettus Hill as a backdrop, Meliá Athens provides magnificent facilities, spacious dining areas with views of the historic monuments and a modern health club with cardiovascular equipment.

After breakfast, my sister and I decided to go up to the highest floor to view the Health Club. There are the sauna, gym and even the massage room.
I realized that the area has a ship theme. Love its contemporary design.

Then we adjourned to the Corinth Canal..

    I like to eat kiwi fruits so I will surely eat a few at this breakfast buffet if I were there. This hotel looks good. If one day I got a chance to go to Athens, I would want to stay there too.

    Did you have to wake up very early in the morning to eat breakfast and then go for sightseeing?

    Buffet breakfast at the hotels are the same, kinda boring one?

    So you ladies just explored the Health Club without doing the gym there? But I think you don't have the time also la~

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
