没做什么事的一天，早上去了一个离旅店很近的“国家花园”，没想到正好路过宪法广场并且赶上了一个小规模的希腊雅典卫兵换岗。站在希腊议会前的士兵每小时都会换一次岗，不过周日早上11点的是更正式的，可惜我俩看到的是10点的，而且只有两个士兵。和在伦敦看到的气势宏大的英国的皇家卫兵换岗相比，这个就简单多了，两个士兵的走步很特别，把脚抬的高高的，而且还会前后摆动一下，还会故意摩擦地面发出吱吱的摩擦的声音，很有意思的一个换岗仪式。

On a day of “not much happening”, in the morning we went to the “National Garden” which was very close to our hotel. We went through Syntagma Square and happened to catch the tail end of a small-scale changing of the guard in Athens.

雅典有7个有名的小山，除了昨天去的卫城，今天又攻克了两个。 早上步行去了第一个山-吕卡维多斯山，位于卫城的东侧，海拔只有277米，应该是雅典的最高点。从旅店步行40多分钟比较轻松地到达了山顶。从山顶上可以看到昨天去的卫城，可惜今天有些雾蒙蒙的， 远处看的并不是很清晰。

There are seven famous hills in Athens, counting the Acropolis that we went to yesterday, we have conquered two more of the hills today.

昨天离开了帕罗斯岛，民宿主人竟然开车把我俩送到了机场，25分钟的飞行就到了雅典。从雅典机场到旅店的地铁大概用时50分钟（不包括走路到地铁站的时间），车费9每人欧元（买两张票，每人竟然给了1欧元的折扣！太贴心了。）跟哥本哈根比起来，这里的地铁似乎不是那么方便，车次相隔时间比较长，哥本哈根大概每2分钟就一趟车，我俩等了有20多分钟，而且也没有任何的地铁实时信息。

We left Paros Island yesterday and the owner of the hotel drove us to the airport (so nice!) It took 25 minutes to fly to Athens. The subway from Athens Airport to the hotel took about 50 minutes (not including the time to walk to the subway station), and the fare was 9 euros per person (buying two tickets, each person gets a discount of 1 euro! So sweet.) but compared with Copenhagen, the subway system here is not convenient at all.
