Hotel Bella Vista Piraeus

... so bad that we can not put them on a public website where young people might be reading. So, we will keep those for another time.<br><br>We loved the food in Greece, but after 10 weeks we did find it a bit monotonous. Outside of Athens, you simply don&#8217;t find any variety of food except Greek food. We would have given a lot of money to find a Chinese, Thai, or other such different cuisine just for a change. <br><br>In many of the smaller islands, all of the restaurants use the same ...

... also white and very wide, over their upper body they wear a black and gold tunic with long bits at the back, thick creamy white tights with black tassels behing the knee and red studded shoes with a large black pompom on the toe. Hope you can picture them! The actual ceremony is also very odd and involves a lot of kicking and very long strides, all done in slow motion and in perfect harmony. Once the new guards are in place by ...

... guy kept going into the same pocket, the only thing in there was my antibacterial. Silly boy. After walking around for a long time, the only thing I wanted to do was find a man who Emily and Jessica met earlier in the summer. We did a little bit of searching and we found Tom. Tom is from Ireland, his family was killed and he was super nice. I have lots of photos. After meeting Tom we had to rush ...

... card, got a henna tattoo on my arm to cover up a sunburn, and then headed back to meet up with our friend Jono from the first voyage who happened to be in town. We met up with him and his family and then grabbed a few beers before making plans for the following day. On our last day, after meeting up for an early brunch, we headed off to the Athens Olympic stadium from the 2004 summer games. We walked around and I must say, for being 4 years old this place is desolate ...

... over for dinner! It was a lovely day. Monday was a lot of studying and getting work done until the night when our entire apartment and some girls from the other apartment went to see the Tokyo Ballet, at the ancient amphitheater! And although the opera was my favorite, I absolutely loved the ballet! It was so much fun! The dancers were so talented, and so in shape that some of the moves they could do were unthinkable! Tuesday we went to the beach, but ...

... when the bus took a completely different route to the port than I thought it would and I got all disoriented. But again, nice old men reassured us, in pantomime, that we should stay on the bus and we'd see the marina soon. And of course, they were right. After a few wrong turns walking to our boat - it was hard to see how to get to the end of the dock! really! - we were successfully boarded on the EasyCruiseOne and settled into ...

... fake Argentina footy shirt, glasses and we found some badges for our backpacks!!! We had a pretty damn good lunch in Athens, which again surprisingly has some brilliant pedestrian areas and cafes...i thought it would be a lot more grubby, but the place is pretty damn good. We tried to fill the afternoon with cinema but everything was shut, so we returned and waited at the airport early. Apparently in the morning there had been an ...

... the famous and extra strong greek liquor par excellence. We're leaving tomorrow so we have to go to the hostel to do the baggage. This time we're sharing the room with two New York city boys and we chat with them awhile before we go to Monastiraki (again) to have dinner. We are a little bit sad because our greek adventure finishes tomorrow but we want to do something special to say good bye to this magnificent country ...

Breakfast in Istanbul and lunch in Athens. Really that means breakfast in the airport whiling away the two hours for security. But we did have a late lunch at a taverna in Plaka, the old town sited just below the Acropolis, and enjoyed watching large Greek families eat and drink away a Sunday afternoon. An efficient post-Olympic mass transit system delivered us from the airport to the doorstep of our hotel. The system is under utilized by locals and ...

... in general...was bit of a shock. couple of cute little towns here in Santorini but there is only so long you can walk around them looking in all the beautiful shops with all the amazing stuff I cant really afford to buy right now....well without going hungry and having nowhere to sleep anyway.....so to the beach it was. Am going to go to Red Beach tomorrow, meant to be really stunning. Have to say none of the beaches Ive been to so far have come close to being ...
