Europe 2007

There are a few worlds that I would like to describe Athens as:

VERY HOT, SMELLY, BUSY IN TOURSITS, EXTREMLY BUSY IN TRAFFIC BUT TOTALLY AMAZING........ I cant say Athens is beautiful but very historic, my hostel (although pricey) was full of like minded travellers and situated so close to the acroplolis you could almost touch it, whats more is that it had a roof bar with the cheapest drinks in town, what more could I want!

The first day was spent travelling was Patras to Athens so really a wasted day, I spent the second day exploring on my own, craziliy I headed for the Acroplols at 12.00 noon it 40 deg heat, this I discovered was sucide because there were millions of steps and It was such hard work. I made the top, it was unbeliveble and definatly one of the true wonders of the world. I felt like I had reached the gate of heaven, so so so amazing and the views... well where do I begin. I did see Zeus, Olympia and the other main sights but nothig was as good compared to the Acropolis.

I had adopted James that I met in Brindisi as my travell companion for Greece. After a few nights in Athens we both decided to head north
