    There are so many amazing places in Athens. The Panathenaic Stadium, the Acropolis, all the many historical sites, great food and people make this a must see city. John and Bev

    It never gets old, it’s a place we believe everyone should visit at least once! John was a check off the bucket list for you running in the stadium!! What a delicious feast you two had as well! Great video guys! Next stop Mars! 😂~Cara

    How cool to have a long passion for running and be able to do a few laps in that stadium! It is amazing to see structures that are so old and how much history they have "seen." We have felt that way seeing the giant sequoia trees in northern California and how old they are. Thanks for sharing!

    I just love watching your videos, you two are always so happy and loving towards one another it always puts a big smile on my face. And I love that you're living your lives so freely! My husband and I retire in 6 years and we're going to do exactly what you're doing. In the meantime I take 3 to 4 week vacations abroad...Spain in September! Keep the videos coming! Safe travels!

    Great vlog. Short and sweet 😁. Too short 😭. We were just getting into it then....😁 It looks like you are having fun. I (Darren) was over there in 87 and the Parthenon was shut then covered in scaffold, but I did get to run the track. Not sure the knees would stand up to a race now 🏃. Safe travels. 🧡

    Isn't the Acropolis amazing? I've been there, but Stijn hasn't and I was blown away! We don't know all the history either, but it's sure fun to explore all this ancient stuff. Oh all that food looked so good! Seems John couldn't make up his mind 🤣😂
    Fun video guys!

    The changing of the guard is an interesting concept. All these global militaries have this ceremony style component. Cool, but I wonder how it all came about. Retirement Time Travels - I hope that's a channel that you'll be able to make! I too would likely be space sick. My goodness - you find the best foods. I really need to follow if your foot steps!

      We love binge watchers 😊 Congrats on your trip. We generally stay 1 week in each city, but have stayed up to a month. We like a week. Also, we tend to travel regionally (example: 6 weeks in northern Italy in 6 different cities about 2 hours apart). Hope this helps, John and Bev
