Electra Hotel Athens

... aged man with glasses wearing spandex. Medals hanging on the wall behind the cash machine hinted towards a passion for cycling.

We discussed Brian’s broken rack and his desire for a front rack. Rummaging around, he found some old pieces in the store that would work for a rear rack, but he would have to go and find us a front rack if we wanted it. Bags? He tried to talk us out of Ortliebs saying that they were very expensive ...

... people thought? (Even though the girls had to share a room with my coughing fits).

Anyway to the point.

Santorini first. Beautiful beautiful beautiful island. We stayed at a pretty decent hostel/apartments near Perissa beach, a black sand beach not exactly how you picture the beaches... pitiful to say, we never actually did swim in the ocean in Santorini... or in Ios... (luckily we swam in the ocean 'once' in Paros). Santorini is actually a lot bigger ...

... busy, rude driving, and quite green. The Acropolis is very impressing. For students it is free, what is quite good, because if not you have to pay 12 euros..
On my way there, i met a guy, who came along my way.. After 30 seconds, i figured out that he is a CS.. I dont know why, but our theory is, that we can smell each other :DDD
I explored some more of Athens like the parlamentary ...

... THAT visceral. athens, on the other hand, not so much... athens is a big, busy city where you can actually SEE the air because it's so smoggy. and it's not like toronto smog where you can still breathe and it goes away after a block or so. it takes your breath away and keeps it from you. like, you can't sit down on urban surfaces because of the layer of dust on them. but hey, who goes to greece and doesn't see the ruins? and who goes to athens and doesn't see the acropolis? not me ...

... engagement and cultural preservation. The aim is to give an introductory overview of the hotel's sustainability performance and identify where the hotel management needs to focus in the short and long term.

... without passing this guy anyway. We looked up and could see the bottom of the Acropolis and made a beeline for it. It was closed but we could wander nearly all the way around it. I didn't expect it to be so big, but that said I don't know what I expected to be honest. After wandering for about an hour we went back and had dinner at the restaurant outside our hostel food was great, not long after this we headed in for as much sleep as possible having had ...

Hello everyone, This will be my last post from Greece. We arrived safely and ON TIME!!! On an Olympic Airlines flight from Lesvos to Athens at 8am yesterday. (we were up at 3:45am...no comment) We were stuck in the Monday morning Athens traffic, so it took us an hour to get to Plaka. Sitting on the beach about a month ago, I decided that when in Athens, we should stay in a nice-ish hotel, rather than the family/youth hostel we had planned to ...

hey everyone, sorry we didn't put anything up. we were out of internet for a while! we are having a lot of fun here! heres a little overview of what we have done: ok so our first stop was Greece we stayed at this hotel in Athens. It was called the Museum hotel because it is right next to the National Museum. Our room had a balcony. So we went into athens to the Plakta. It was fun we went to a place called ...

... more before the REAL tourist activities begin tomorrow. Oh, and last night we ate our first Greek vendor food, and they put fries in my souvlaki pita. Odd, but it was good. I'm assuming we'll need Breakaway by the time we get home. :) Tomorrow... the Acropolis and area for the real tour. Keep checkin' out our flickr site for pics, and here for postings. Yippeee... hope all is well with everyone. :)

... locals. We caught a train to the right place, and then on getting off, we opened up our map and instantly we got an offer from a lovely old man to help out. He pointed us in the right direction, and also told us a bit about where to eat, and what to do. When we found the hostel, we couldn't check in as it was too early in the morning. So we left our backpacks there and went off to get some food and relax a bit. We finally got to get into our room at ...
