The Grand Tour continues...

Trapped in Greece after the kidnapping (because of passport issues...) I took some time to look around. The Exarchia area in which we were staying was vibrant and cool, but I had to be a tourist and check out the Parthenon & Acropolis too... along with what appeared to be every other tourist and school class in Greece...

If you're coming across this photo without having seen any from the boat, you may be going through my flickr photostream in the order it's presented, which is, thanks to flickr's desire to be blog-like, in reverse date order. It'll make much more sense to go through chronologically. To do so, please use the set of which this is part:

The commandos had shouted to us to let down a rope ladder to their Zodiac, so that they could board safely. The captain shouted to the crew to stop us, which they did with some violence. About half an hour later, presumably either realising the severity of his position, or attempting to appear co-operative, he ordered the crew to let down the very same ladder!

Commandos approach

The Greek "MIA" commandos. These guys were brilliant. Because, of course, they didn't immediately understand what was going on, they treated us and the crew (the kidnappers) equally. This was reassuring and just what we wanted. And in marked contrast to the mostly (though not entirely) rather unpleasant Greek police who hugged the captain, wore no uniforms, and told us they didn't have to (and should not!) show us any identification.
