Actually, they meant to say &#8220;greens&#8221;<br><br>&#8220;Frie d Person&#8221; A whole one is way too much food for me- I usually split one with John! We have no idea what they meant to say<br><br>&#8220;Garbage&#8221; At least it&#8217;s honest and direct- it certainly sums up some of our dinner experiences. Actually, it was meant ...

... and will probably continue to work on it for a number of years yet. It is absolutely breathtaking and in places you could still see the original carvings. Erechtheum was originally built in three parts - the Temple of Athena Polias, the Temple of Erechtheus and the Temple of the Nymph of Maiden Pandrosus who was one of the daughters of Cecrops (I hope you know all these names). This was the most sacred of all the temples on ...

... to the ship for dinner. After dinner we headed out to see the nightlife in Athens. Athens is a beautiful city when it lit up at night. August 6, 2008 Our last day in Greece we planned to go bungee jumping in the Corinth Canal in Cornith. We left the ship early to catch the hour train ride to Corinth. At the train station, we caught a taxi to the 'zulu hut' next to the canal that offered ...

... the travel agency. The other option was to go bungy jumping at the Corinth Canal. I woke up on the third day for breakfast and to grab some free internet, though I mainly wanted to confirm plans for Croatia and ensure that bungy jumping was still an option. As far as lackluster days go, this may have been one of them. In fact, this country may have (I should have just gone to an island and beached it). After staying in the previous night with a few friends, the three ...

... decided to watch movies. On Tuesday we went to Kalamaki, the beach that we always go to. On the ride there as well as at the beach we were studying for our Greek finals and some Greek people just came over and started helping us. It was really funny. On Wednesday I took the first part of the Greek final and got a 98%! Then in between classes Roxy and I went to get coffee in Plaka. And then after photojournalism, we went to the Olympic Complex and ...

Even with the 10 hour change, our busy day helped us sleep until around 3:30am. Patrick and I chatted for a half hour, then managed to sleep until the sun was out (my goal)! After a quick coffee and pasty from the nice guy down the street, we headed out to the rest of the Athens sights on our little ticket - the Roman Agora, museum, and ancient cemetary. All very cool and again, easiest to just see in photos; world like "impressive ...

... central!! It was free to get in..result..apparently a Greek holiday, in fact everything else was free for the rest of the day..even more of a result. So we wandered around Agora, checking out some crazy old cool Greek s**t. Here in the park/ruins are amazing views up to the Acropolis, so we wondered around and found a view point between two on top of an old rock, well it had some sort of historical significance, but I can't ...

quick look around only a day did some shopping around the markets and walked heaps. had a few drinks but nothing really exciting as have an early wake up call for the ferry in the morning. booked taxie at 6am. going to mykonos. have no luggage hoping that it will arrive in the ...

... city, and not entirely the cleanest, but I suppose it's the Greek charm in general that makes it memorable nonetheless. Now we are heading to the islands. We are taking the night ferry to Crete, then later going to Santorini, then back to Athens. We hope to get swimming in the sea quite soon! Miss you all, Gwen and Jen

... it and it was not her problem. anyway, for whatever reason the iberian lady suddenly decided to help and got permission or something to charge me the one fee and re-issue my ticket and ended up being really nice. i think she ended up calling qantas and her managers in madrid etc.. to try and sort it all out. so who knows what really happened! I managed to get on the same flights to Munich (via madrid!) but couldnt get on ...
