Athens International Airport, Greece.

After nearly 10 hours' flight, Greece, which is 6 hours slower than China in the eighth East District, is late at night, but the airport is still full of people.

"That's it. I'm going to travel. You have to transfer to go back to your hometown. Let's say goodbye."

In front of the gate, Lin Lan said goodbye to the foreign student brother who was on the same plane. The other side was also smiling and waving.

"Boss, I wish you a pleasant journey and forget all your troubles early! By the way, don't forget the Athens tourism strategy I told you on the plane. Make sure there's nothing wrong with this free trip! "

"Good word for you!"

After they parted, Lin Lan called a taxi and went to the hotel that had been reserved for a long time in the process of the free walking two person tour. It was near farreron Bay in Aegean Sea. From the window or balcony, you can see the scenery of the waves beating on the cliff and have a buffet breakfast.

Well, she enjoyed all the benefits that should have been for two in this plan.

Dragging the suitcase into the hotel, Lin Lan at the door saw two stray cats sitting not far away, she was stunned for a moment, but did not stop walking directly towards the front desk.

After checking in at the front desk and getting the room card, Lin Lan went to the corresponding room under the reception of the waiter. Until there was only one person left in the double room, Lin Lan took back all her facial expressions and fell on the big bed with a tired face, sighing.

In fact, how can it be so easy, how can it really smile as if nothing happened.

Split up by lovers, even if revenge on the spot back to try to keep dignity, before the injury will not be less than a point, unless never like and care about.

From the beginning of finding something wrong to now, Lin Lan has not suffered well.

Now that it was all over, she didn't feel much better.

The soft light poured down. On the white double bed, the woman curled up on it. By the hand of the quilt, her head buried deep in the pillow and her shoulders trembled silently.

…………

The morning light sprinkles on the windowsill, and Lin Lan wakes up from her sleep listening to the sound of the waves.

Last night she went to bed very late, coupled with travel fatigue and mental fatigue, so that now it is more than 11 o'clock when she opens her eyes, she has already missed the buffet breakfast time in the hotel.

Heart head and scolded that pair of dog men and women harm her, Lin Lan had to cover the empty stomach to go out looking for food.

Fortunately, there are many convenient shops and restaurants for tourists in this area. She didn't go out for a long time to satisfy her needs.

Having enough to eat and drink, with some ready snacks in hand, Lin Lan began to wander in this strange land.

She walked on the clean and tidy street, surrounded by all kinds of specialty shops except for all kinds of necessities shops, and then looked out to see a large ocean and a pure white town.

Lin Lan quit his job to travel, so it's not the peak time for Chinese to visit Greece. Therefore, he didn't see the scene that foreign scenic spots are full of fellow tourists like the photos taken on the Internet.

Just thinking about whether to take the bus to the pure white town according to the instructions in the strategy, there was a burst of laughter, which was still standard Mandarin.

"Husband, hurry up, the town in front is the holy land of the sea. I want to go there to see the Aegean Sea!" The young girl in a bohemian dress, holding the other half's hand, ran to the station with a happy face. She was so excited that she almost dragged the big men behind her.

"I know. I know. Slow down. The town can't run there. Our honeymoon line has avoided the peak period again. There won't be many people competing with you for positions. "

Her husband advised her, but the girl didn't listen at all. She was still shouting.

"We're going to take pictures there! You want to make me beautiful, you know! "

"Yes, my wife! Slow down and watch your step! "

The honeymoon couple passed by Lin Lan like a gust of wind, which also blew away her good mood.

Heart head and Shao xiuye that pair of dog men and women pulled out to scold, Lin Lan taut face turned back to the direction of the hotel.

To his strategy, to his scenic spot Town, to see the sea, to see a wool, to see lovers eat dog food there? Lin Lan decisively hit a fork on the first stop of the journey.

Almost to the door of the hotel, Lin Lan heard the cat call, subconsciously follow the sound to see, see two Plush little guy is lying in front of the hotel on a landscape windowsill in the sun, the security does not drive them, let them roll freely. After noticing Lin Lan's sight, the cats were not alert. Instead, one of them jumped down and ran towards her.

"Meow --" Sanhua cat circled her legs and even rolled in front of her.

Lin Lan knows that she doesn't have any cat smoking constitution, but the food she carries in her hand is OK.

A minute later, the two cats were eating with relish at the squid ring on the ground. Lin Lan stood by and looked at it with some helplessness and tolerance: "whether foreign or domestic, they are small things with sharp noses. Eat, and I'll go back first. "When she entered the gate, she heard the meow behind her, probably to say hello to her.

If only I could understand what they said. In a flash, the idea came to her mind, but it was fleeting.

It was a failure to see the sea, but there is still half a day left today. Lin Lan took out the travel strategy he had written before, crossed out the first stop to see the sea in IA Town, and focused on the next one - it is said that the Acropolis is an important scenic spot that tourists must go to when they come to Greece.

"Look here, this is the famous" maiden pillar "in the temple of irichtion. The six beautiful maiden pillars are symmetrical, with four in the front and one on each side..."

A Chinese tour guide with a Chinese tour group, holding a trumpet, skillfully introduced the main points of the scenic spot to the tourists in Mandarin. Lin Lan, who was listening to the scene behind, also listened with relish. She also moved with the team wherever it moved. It was inconspicuous to mix with a group of compatriots from the motherland.

Although it is not the peak period of tourism, there are not too many Chinese tourists to Athens, but it does not mean that there are no tourists. Just like the newlyweds who came to Greece for their honeymoon before, there are also people who sign up for the Greek group tour now. It's cheaper in the off-season. Living in a foreign country, we all feel more cordial to our motherland compatriots who are also black haired and black eyed. No one takes Lin Lan as a casual guest and lets her follow the team.

"There are three temples in the temple of irichtion, which are dedicated to Zeus, the Greek god, Poseidon, and Hephaestus, the blacksmith God. Speaking of the temple of irichtion, it has another legend. It is said that it is the place where Athena, the goddess of war, and Poseidon, the God of the sea, fight for wisdom in order to be the patron saint of Athens. At the beginning, the God King Zeus put down his words and asked the two gods to provide the most useful thing for mankind. He was worried about the outcome. Poseidon gave a war horse, and Athena gave an olive tree. In the end, instead of choosing war, mankind embraced the olive tree. This is also the origin of the name of Athens, the capital of Greece. "

The tour guide led his team around the temple ruins, his mouth never stopped. During this period, a cat passed by the guide's feet and attracted most people's attention.

"Tour guide." Some tourists cut in at this time, pointing to the cat who just ran away and wondering, "I always wanted to ask before. It seems that there are many cats here?"

"This is normal." The guide immediately said, "cats are very popular in Greece. They have been the symbol of gods since ancient Greece. As we all know, in ancient times, many people all over the world had no way to deal with the losses and diseases caused by mice. The importance of cats was highlighted at this time. In Egypt, cats were sacrificed as gods, and in Greece, too. Does Artemis, the God of the moon in Greek mythology, know? She not only represents the moon, but also represents nature and the goddess of hunting. Sometimes she appears in front of people in the image of a cat. Therefore, the moon god is also known as the mother of cats. People also call cats the cat of gods. Cats live very well in Greece. Local people are very tolerant and take good care of them. It's no surprise to see them in temples. "

A group of people suddenly realized that Lin Lan nodded. So it is. No wonder they can see so many stray cats along the way, and they are not afraid of people at all.

"I'll continue to introduce you. Now we are in the temple dedicated to Zeus. Do you know something about Zeus? He is a well-known sentimental God in Greek mythology. In addition to his seventh wife, Hera, who is also the only queen of the palace, he also fell in love with many goddesses, fairies and mortal women, and gave birth to many gods or demigods. The moon god Artemis mentioned earlier was born to him and Leto, the sixth wife's nurse goddess.... "

Lin Lan didn't know much about Greek mythology. Now he was shocked to hear about the series of romantic affairs in the life of the God King Zeus. It was not enough to have seven wives before and after. The combination of lovers' extramarital affairs and illegitimate children was a new company. After the tour guide introduced some of Poseidon's wonderful love stories, she didn't want to talk any more.

It seems that looking at all times and all over the world, men's playfulness and amorous is something that has always existed. No matter how beautiful and excellent their partners are, they will continue to show mercy to the third, fourth and even more heterosexuals. The difference between good men and bad men is whether they are willing to restrain themselves.

The tour guide didn't say much about the love history of these gods, but more about the wonderful power of these gods, such as what they are proficient in and what they symbolize.

"It's rare to come to Greece to see these ancient temples that have stood for thousands of years. You can try to make a wish here. Maybe some gods will listen and help you realize it."

In the end, the tour guide made a joke. There was a burst of laughter in the tour group, but everyone didn't refuse. It's not a big deal for most people to make a wish at will. If it comes true, everyone worships these relics with a joking mood. Lin Lan is one of them.

I hope all the dregs in the world will disappear!

To make such a wish in the temple of the God of slag, she may be the most insincere of the group of Chinese tourists who are not sincere.
