No hummus!

hello from Athens.

we had lunch at some cafe where we were waited on by very nice Greek men. our waiter gave us extra to...

Great day of departure!

Well not much to say at this point, apart from being very excited about heading off to travel the Americas. Very much looking forward to relaxing in Greece first though!

Arrived at Greece international airport and made my way to Zorbas Hotel, not too bad a place and met lots of other young travellers at various stages of their journeys.

Thought I might be fortunate enough to have the 4 bed dorm room to myself, however 2 of the 3 Chileans who were also expected to stay in the sam...

Walking on Ancient Paths

Lying on my sleep sheet and travel pillow with my legs wrapped around my pack and arms cradling my purse was how I arrived in Athens. Ok, not really like that, but almost. I landed in Athens from Vienna at 2:30 am and with no safe way to get to my hostel at this time of nigh, I slept on the floor in the arrivals terminal in a group of about 6 other people. Athens should look in to having cots ready! 3 hours of sleep, then I boarded a bus to my hostel. Staying at Zorbas Hotel in Victoria's Squ...

Back to the Western World

I was ready to leave Egypt when we did. The little differences that we got used to about Egypt was apparent the second we got on the plane. We acclimated to our surroundings on the Greek plane and Jesse turned to me and said, "It's so clean." We heard so many horrible stories about Athens. Many people told us that it is dirty, the air quality is the worst in Europe, and the people are rude. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this was not the case. Athens was beautiful. Our hostel was i...

Athens. Day-cruise to the three islands

... was standing on the top deck playing a potpourri of well known songs, while the tourists were getting out.

And as a final he played a Russian song from a very old movie:

"I'll never forget the friend if I meet him in Moscow…"

I have no idea where he could hear it.

We were only three Russians on board!

He won our hearts.

We were touched to tears!

That was a beautiful final of a beautiful day and of the whole vacation.

freaking hot

... After a few hours of wondering around, we got back to the house and took a nap. We wouldn`t eat anything till the evening, because you really don`t want to eat when it`s so freaking hot out there. When the weather cooled down, we went to see Akropol by night (it looks even better than during the day), walked down the streets and before midnight we went to Keramikos - a party district of Athens. We met up with Antonio out there, that had just gotten back from ...

Long Time!!

... held. Everyone had a race and Aphrodite, the director, crowned the winner with an olive branch. In ancient times an olive branch was the prize. We also saw the seat of the priestess of Zeus, the only female allowed in the stadium. We were told a story of a woman who wanted to watch her son race and so she dressed up as a coach. But when the race was over she was so overjoyed that her son won, that she gave herself away and so she was sentenced to DEATH! Luckily for her ...

We weren't sposed to come here!

... to the actropolis. Now Greece has this wonderful thing where if you are a student studying in the EU you can get into all their sites for free, so with our fake student cards acquired in Egypt and telling them we were studying in England we got into most places for free! The acropolis is awesome, but they are currently working on putting it back together so there is a lot less there at the moment than you expect from the pictures you{ve seen. Still ...

Santorini

... we had actually been given......the ferry anchored and we had to jump in and swim in the very very very VERY cold waters until we reached the "hot springs".......the "HOT SPRINGS" were only 10 degrees warmer than the actual water , and had a rusty color ( i was picturing bubbles, waterfalls, hot tub, etc....) Far from what I had imagined......to top it off the rusty water stained my body and bathing suit..but all I cared ...

Greek to me

... suburb of Vouliagmeni and then the opening itself. The stormy weather was an especially fitting backdrop for a show called Mare Nostrum--a series of sea-related painting set in an outdoor venue by the ocean. Joe had to return to New York on Sunday so the following day I decided to rent a car for a mini-road trip. For all of my efforts I could not procure a navigation system with the rental car so I was ...
