So from Rome we have now travelled via an overnight ferry into Greece.
We had a bit of a turn around with our schedule because of the greek holidays and ended up spending a few hours in Athens (which was more than enough) and then heading to Mykonons ( a greek island ) for an extra night which was very welcome.
It is so relaxing here. We have spent our days chilling by the pool and getting a tan which happens much more easily ( and less painfully ) than the tan you get in NZ. Aparently Mykonos is known as the 'gay' island so me and a few boys dressed up super gay last night hoping to get some free drinks but it just didnt happen. Damn it.
Oh yeah, back to Athens. We saw the Acropolis and Partheon and all that other stuff which was cool but it was mainly covered in scaffolding so that let it down a bit.
Right now I am about to head to a place in Mykonos called 'Paradise Beach" which is meant to be the main party place on the island so looking forward to it. I think I am building up a resilience for alcohol.
Oh yeah again. Went a did a bit more of Rome and that place is sick. Fully sick. We are all getting pretty close on this Contiki group. A few relationships forming and what not. A few arguementsa happening also. Those bloody aussies - all they can do is complain. "My pizza doesnt have enough salami", "my feet hurt", blah blah blah. Luckily I am somewhat tolerant, however I am so close to punching one in the face. These things happen in close confines though.
Alright. I better go and hit some more alcohol. I guess.
Will look to post photos on facebook tomorrow if the internet is still working.
Oh yeah I forgot about one of the old posts. I forgot to mention that Nathan won 160 euro at the monte carlo casino. Good on him. High rolla.
Talk soon
