sunny

Okay, im tired gona make this entry short and sweet. Just every min of Greece it was totally totally amazing and such crazy fun!

Volos, Skiathos and Skopelos were very quite, preety and beachy places. Met plenty of other people but mainly british holiday couples. Due to the heat there was a forest fire in volos, quite scary but know where near me. I am coming back to Skopelos on 10th Aug to work here in a hotel for the rest of summer, yipppeee!

Had a ten hour ferry to Mykonos, yes the gay island and very true at that, but this was my fav island. So characteristic, the town is very charming with millions of cobbled streets that everyone gets lost on. Met a swiz guy called Daniel and we stayed a beautiful apartment about 10 mins from the town together, it had a pool and was on a cliff overlooking this white sandy beach, fab ey! Went to a great party all night long at Paradise beach but some of the guys were a bit to full on shall we say which slightly ruined it. In the town i had sword fish for lunch, saw the famous pelicans and took pics of the landmark windmills.

The ferrys in greece are so easy to use so again I got one to Ios. I had not heard of this island before so being a bit septicle only booked for 1 night. I have to say I changed my booking to three nights because it was a mega mega party island. I met hundreds of travellers from everywhere. At night the streets are filled with music, beer and dancing. The first night was an early one at 5 am but stayed partying til 7 the next day the third day I was well - felt dead! But it was so much fun, you wouldnt recgonise me, I was drinking ouzo and beer and dancing all night to dance and trance music, so so crazy! I was very sad to leave but had to because I couldnt handle anymore!!

I just wanted to sight see and sleep in Santorini, this was not to be. I arrived at my hotel and met two american guys and a british guy all travelling together. I dont remember much about this night other than I slept in a jeep on the beach about one hour drive from my apartment, so crazy I know. The next day I went to the black sand beach to sleep and the day after did a tour of the famous volcano and hot spring spa's. This was a nice island and very different, glad I saw it but I wont be back.

Okay so where Im at now.... Arrived in Pireaus the port of athens at 1 am this morning, checked into a hotel which looked like a motel out of the blues brothers film. It was quite and the room had aircon but it was not worth 60 euros but I Just needed sleep so I didnt care. I got a taxi to the bus station, I was petrified I didnt think the driver understood me and thought he was taking me to patras my end destination, luckily however he didnt, but i know he riped me off, all part of the experience I guess! So right now iv just had a chicken roast dinner with greek salad and have a 18 hour ferry overnight back to italy. Tomorrow I have a night in Brindisi again and the day after an over night ferry to Croatia, phew blimy sounds alot ey!

Anyway must dash, sorry for amy grammer, spelling for whatever mistakes (im rushing) miss you all loads, speak to you soon byeeeeee xxxx
