We narrowly missed the protests against the Greek Austerity measures. 12 Riot police buses and lots of excitement.
The highlight was the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier. They look a little silly in their costumes in the photos but it was really incredibly fascinating to watch. They take it very seriously and as a consequence it is very moving. They stand still in the sun guarding the tomb then change guards every hour. We were lucky to get close as the next day they were barracaded off in case the protesters got too close.
