Athens under attack! Heat-wave, public-transport strike & ‘smog’ take our breath away!

Athens is boiling today! 36 C in shadow, 45 C in the sun (measured in my balcony) .

Dust from the Sahara turns heaven yellow

Traffic jam in all major streets. This morning people left their homes for work by driving their own cars.

Metro drivers are on a 48-hour strike. Their colleques driving  Buses, Trains and  Trams  have pulled the vehicles brakes  from 11:00 to 16:00.

Air pollution is extremely high.

South winds & humidity as well cause high concentration of sulfure dioxine, carginogen benzene and photochemical particles from cars take our breath away.

That’s a torture for elderly and very young, people suffering from high or low blood pressure, respiratory problems

I feel I ‘ll get a sunburn even if I stay at home!

The only possitive thing I could think today is that Greece beats Nigeria in South Africa!

Really Cool Video !!!
