Sun Beach Hotel Thessaloniki

... br><br>PS- I just asked Andre if he wanted to add anything to the blog and he said this exact quote, &#8220;Disappointed. No skeleton of Philip, Alexander the Great&#8217;s dad. Very sad.&#8221; I will translate: we were told the skeleton of Philip (Alexander&#8217;s dad) would be at the archaeological museum but it was not. The man working there said it hadn&#8217;t been there in 20 years and he didn&#8217;t know where it was now.

... br><br>Bin um kurz nach 20:00 gelandet, und um 23:50 dann mit dem Nachtzug weiter nach Sofia. 18,50Euro fuer die Strecke, habe aber noch fuer 10 Euro auf den Schlafwagen upgegraded, da der eine Waggon ziemlich voll war (und ich ausserdem doch recht muede war).<br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf<br>

... galleries. Here we went to an art gallery whos exhibits which ranged from several hundred beer cans arranged in a spiral to a musical video about communism. Top fun!<br><br>We also went in to a photography gallery and a museum of cinema which was quite cool. A pretty awesome 3D film at the end as well!<br><br>This passed most of the time we needed to kill and we filled the rest with wondering the streets looking around.<br>

... t so we got on another train. This time we were told that the train was not going to Athens and then we'd have to get off and get on a different train. &gt;_&lt; Finally we were on the train we needed to be on having again checked if we needed to reserve and the conductor again informed us that we didn't have tickets so would have to get off. He then phoned the station and shouted at somebody in Greek and then everything seemed to be fine. Thus we arrived in Athens...<br>

... him.<br><br>It took me a long 1 week to catch up on the blog only because we were traveling so much around Thessaloniki. No time or energy to write. We had an amazing time that was comprised of a water park, beach bars, lots of great dining and great company. The scenery was amazing. One day trip took us a lot longer to get to our destination because the farmers were on strike and shut down some major ...

... a glass shaped like a coca cola can. I don't take many souvenirs from my journeys, so this would have to do. I shoved it into my bag quickly- there was no point acting like I had to steal it, they were free to keep, but I was still on an adrenalin high after the excitement of being given ****ING POPCORN WITH MY ******* PINT. I was gazing through the window when three cars went past waving red and black anarchist flags, trailing behind them ...

... bad og gik paa en laekker og hyggelig restaurant med en fin betjening af vidst nok ejeren selv :) Laekker traditionel graesk mad og byens bedste dessert (efter hans mening i hvert fald ;) ) Byen er ret kaotisk og vi ledte forvildet rundt efter solbriller - som vi selvfoelig havde undladt at tage med paa interrail...Men vi fandt ingen, bortset fra dyre kopivarer...Vi leder stadig... Om morgenen fandt vi et tog til Edessa...

... I felt like I was going to be sick and cry at the same time. One guy in the class stood up and said he was switching into the 101 class because he had no idea what was going on (and he had actually taken Greek before!). When it was my turn to read the sentence, I wanted to scream "Rosetta Stone you failed me!!" but instead I very slowly pronounced the words as best I could. Unfortunately, no one understood what I was saying. I think you can all imagine ...

... We found an ad for Hard Rock in our map book and headed out. Back on the Metro and a few streets later and we arrived at the good ol' American restaurant! We were in complete heaven when we got our meal; I got the quesadilla and Curtis got the burger and fries. It was so close to the food at home and I think we gobbled it up in less than ten minutes! I think our waiter had a good time with us too, because we kept raving about the food and he just kept laughing at us. After supper we ...

... So, in not so many words, if ANYONE has ANY IDEAS about where we should go next, any unfullfilled travel dreams they would like to live vicariously through us, please don't hesitate... and/or a way to get to Dubrovnik, Croatia that does not involve flying and a layover in Dublin, send us a note! Apparently, Dubrovnik, our next intended stop, is the most nonreachable city in existence! There are no flights there, no ferries, no ships, trains, bike rides, moped trails, hot air ...
