Athens and beyond...

We all didn't care if we went here after our last eventful time, but it did get worse! The night before we got lost yet again and Phil, our bus driver headed up a street - which I said we weren't gonna fit - and we hit a car. The night ended when a policeman escorted us to our hotel on his motorcycle.

We met our tour guide in the mornin and were shown some sites around town such as where the Olympics were first held. We then headed to the Acropolis and Parthenon.

Here they are continuing to restore the buildings and whilst taking happy snaps, the workers continue to restore. It's certainly quite amazing up here.

After the tour, we were given some free time in town. The town is quiet nice, where the shops are in one main area. There's also a type of market down one of the streets and this is where Fraser, Harp and myself headed. If you get yourself to Athens, I'd recommend these, they are quite small, however I bought a ring here! :)

After an interesting experience with lunch, we headed back to the meeting point and were on our way for the lovely long ferry ride...

Ferry Ride ->
The trip here was amazing, i think I saw one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen here. The sun was setting on one side of our bus against the mountains and the sky was a reddy pink colour reflecting on the ocean. To the otherside was more mountains were the sky was blue and the moon was full. It was an amazing thing to see and I was absolutely gobsmacked and inspired to paint.

The first night was a quiet one as we had the next day and night to keep ourselves entertained.

It's difficult to keep yourself entertained on these things, so first thing I did was head outside for some sun, but found it was extremely hot. Most of us kept inside in the end, playing cards and a dice game called Zilch - lots of fun!

Night time came though and this was a different story...We all ended up having a few drinks and I got started on some black russians after buying some vodka to go with my 70% proof kahlua. This would have to have been my biggest night on my entire holiday and I do have many stories to tell, but will not embarass myself on here. However, I will leave you with one thing the night ended with me being taken to my room and me getting in the shower and deciding to wash my clothes (on) in the middle of the night!

2nd July -> Ferry ride was over and I felt not too well today.

First stop today wasn't on the itenary. We headed to Verona, home of Juliet. Yes this is where Romeo and Juliet came from - Shakespeare.

The home of Juliet is surrounded by little post it notes of people writing romantic notes to juliet and their juliets. It's absolutely amazing how many notes there are all over the walls. Also, it's supposed to be good luck to touch the right breast of Juliet's statue, which I did.

After this, we wandered the town and I happened to go shopping and buy a nice little watch for myself.

It was then onto the campsite called Camp Fusina. It's renowned for their bar which makes a drink called an "Attitude Adjuster' and that it certainly does. Two of these and people don't remember how they get to bed. It's also renowned for giving free shots to girls who take their tops off and the photos go up on the net. There's a normal photo of me up there though...

Anyone going here though, be warned the toilets stink so much that I dryreached everytime I went in there. Needless to say, I held off as long as I could.

I had another big night tonight and I really can't go into anymore...
