00:00I misjudged their breakfast situation.

00:29Lauren wanted a quick breakfast and I got this meal bowl that's really hot and it'll take

00:33me a while to eat.

00:34She's ready to go.

00:41There is the Parliament Building with the guard guys.

00:46Hey there guard guys.

00:49Kate and I got our walking shoes on today or should I say our running shoes because we're

00:54about to run through the Pan-Olympic Stadium.

00:56We're walking through the National Gardens of Athens on the way to the Temple of Zeus.

01:02A lot of people running and stuff here.

01:04It's pretty neat.

01:05It's interesting.

01:06It's like surrounded by military personnel and police but we think it's because it backs

01:11up to the Parliament Building.

01:16So this is Hadrian's Ark.

01:17It was built as a celebration finishing the Temple of Zeus which is over there.

01:25Alright so there's not too much to look at now.

01:29Just a bunch of really tall columns.

01:33There's 15 now to be exact.

01:36They are 54 feet tall.

01:39But this temple used to be or cover the square footage of a football field and it is significantly

01:48bigger than its more famous Parthenon brother up here.

01:53But we've listened to our Rick Steves excerpt.

01:58Really not too much to look at here.

01:59So we'll do a quick lap and then make our way over to the Olympic Stadium.

02:05Hello.

02:07The world's first all marble stadium.

02:22Just imagine the place roaring as Olympic hotels race around the track to get Olympic

02:29gold.

02:30We've been listening to way too much Rick Steves.

02:33These are like really steep marble stairs.

02:36I thought ancient people were short.

02:38These are better.

02:41I'm going to take it all the way to the top.

02:47I feel like we've been climbing steps all week so it's kind of like nothing at this point.

02:52But shit these are steep.

02:54Do I climb this like a ladder?

02:56Safety wasn't a concern back in the day.

03:00There she goes.

03:02We're leaving the stadium.

03:03We're about to head to the Acropolis Museum.

03:04Lauren's got sunburned on her head multiple times.

03:09So she got a new thing going on that she just invented.

03:10She put her mask on her head to cover her fart.

03:16Next stop.

03:17Next stop.

03:18Alright so we went in the museum but we actually didn't go into any of the exhibits.

03:23We went up there and we actually realized our Acropolis ticket didn't cover the museum so it was going to be like 20 euro for both of us.

03:24And we only had like 20 minutes so we just skipped it.

03:25But it was pretty cool even in the lobby.

03:26So we can't complain.

03:27So we just went up there and we actually realized our Acropolis ticket didn't cover the museum.

03:28So it was going to be like 20 euro for both of us.

03:29And we only had like 20 minutes so we just skipped it.

03:30But it was pretty cool even in the lobby.

03:31So you can't complain.

03:32So we have to switch hotels because we had a little bit of a change in travel plans.

03:35We just skipped it.

03:36So we went in the museum but we actually didn't go into any of the exhibits.

03:42We went up there and we actually realized our Acropolis ticket didn't cover the museum.

03:47So it was going to be like 20 euro for both of us.

03:50And we only had like 20 minutes so we just skipped it.

03:53But it was pretty cool even in the lobby.

03:55So can't complain.

03:56So we have to switch hotels because we had a little bit of a change in travel plans.

04:01American had moved some flights around.

04:04We were flying through London.

04:05We didn't really want to deal with flying through London with all the COVID restrictions.

04:08So we booked our new flights.

04:10We ended up getting an extra day and our hotel that we were staying at is already filled up.

04:14So now we have to move hotels.

04:18But we're moving from one Marriott design collection to another one.

04:22And we'll let you know how they compare.

04:31We're about to check out of our hotel, grab a cab, and head to the next one.

04:41I hope it has more evil eyes on the wall.

04:44And snacks.

04:46Our new hotel came in clutch with snacks because I was getting really hungry.

05:03So I'm really planning on something.

05:10We have a patio.

05:14There we go.

05:19How cute is this?

05:23We're in a taxi on the way to go eat some lamb.

05:26We're going to go to this place that I can't say.

05:30It's supposed to be really good.

05:32We just took a taxi all the way across town to this Trothouse restaurant, which is supposed

05:37to have really good lamb.

05:39And it was closed.

05:40But Google said it was open, so epic failure.

05:44Also, that taxi ride was terrifying and my heart rate got up so high that my watch thought

05:49I was working out.

05:50So we're going to have to find somewhere else to eat.

05:52We're going to take a nice walk.

05:53We're going to go to the food market early.

05:55And now we just have more room to eat in our cooking box.

05:58So remember that big sesame bread ring I had yesterday, Kulori?

06:03Well, this is the place where they bake them all.

06:06So since we couldn't get our lamb, we're going to go in there, get some treats to hold

06:10us over until our cooking class because we're getting a little hangry.

06:15Thanks.

06:16Yeah.

06:17Thanks.

06:18So this one's really soft.

06:27The one we had yesterday was like kind of crunchy with sesame seeds, but this is like a softer

06:32bread with Gouda.

06:33Kind of reminds me of like the Brazilian cheese rolls.

06:37I just realized that the bottom of this is like a fried cheese.

06:43It's so good.

06:45So we're about to start our cooking class and no one else is here.

06:54So it's a private cooking class.

06:55Go to the market, pick up some ingredients and then start cooking.

06:58I don't think that's right.

06:59It's really good.

07:13It's really good.

07:14He's ready to cook.

07:15First up is a spinach pie.

07:28Say feta, feta.

07:30Feta.

07:31Feta.

07:32Feta.

07:33What you got?

07:34Cilantro, mint, dill, spinach.

07:37I'm a chopping machine.

07:39I don't know.

07:40I'm asking myself the same thing.

07:41Where are you?

07:42I did see.

07:43He's chopping faster here than he does now.

07:44And I'm raising eyebrows.

07:45I can't raise my eyebrows.

07:46I can't raise my eyebrows.

07:47I can't raise my eyebrows.

07:49I can't raise my eyebrows.

08:07I can't raise my eyebrows.

08:17We got our pies ready for the oven.

08:35It's kind of hard to separate, but...

08:37You're doing great.

08:38I think I'm getting there.

08:39Is this your favorite part?

08:40I think so.

08:41So far?

08:42I love cooking.

08:44Don body.

08:45It's a grape leaf.

08:49It's a grape leaf with filling.

08:51So it has meat, onion, rice, dill, mint, other spices.

09:00All wrapped up.

09:02And then we're going to boil them in that pot of water.

09:15We're making tzatziki.

09:21Got our grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and Garrett went to add the olive oil.

09:28And what did he do?

09:29I just poured this over like she should be, but this is the cover and I went straight in

09:33the yogurt.

09:33I cleaned it off and she's gone, so she'll never know.

09:36All right.

09:36Get the olive oil in there.

09:38Two tablespoons?

09:39Yep.

09:43We've got my cucumber.

09:46We don't want watery cucumbers in our tzatziki.

09:48We made this.

09:51We have our spinach pie.

09:54There's Garrett.

09:55There's mine with sesame seeds.

09:58Her eggplant with sauce.

10:00Our dismani, if I'm saying that right.

10:02It's a grape leaf.

10:03The grape leafs.

10:05Taniki.

10:07And bread.

10:08I'm pretty hungry.

10:10Go for it.

10:10It is so good.

10:23We'll put the word of what it is below.

10:26I don't know how to say it.

10:26The flavor is so unlike anything that I've had.

10:28It's amazing.

10:29That's my favorite thing so far.

10:38This is awesome.

10:39We've got one more place to check out before we leave Athens.

10:45We're halfway to the top.
