Greece- Accomodation Problems

I arrived 5 days ago now and people say that 2 days is enough in Athens but I’m still here and having a great time! My CS host and her friends are great!
The second night I was here I went out to a surprise birthday party, turns out that I was the one doing the surprising! When we turned up at the door they rang the bell handed me the cake and waited for the girl to answer. After a really awkward singing of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” to a girl I have never met before the others came in and broke out in Greek.... gooble gah gah boo ha uooooooo.....

Then I spent a day exploring the Acropolis and temple of Zeus with a classic bunch of Aussie guys and girls, was good to have some home blood around me! And for the first time in weeks I was looking at something not completely covered in hieroglyphics but rather the ancient Greek architecture which is equally as stunning!

Today we are heading out to celebrate Sophias ‘name day’ in other words a birthday for your name. Just another excuse to give and receive presents really. So guys I think mine is in Jan lol.

But the time has come to move on from Athens and onto paradise! Tomorrow morning I have a 5am start as my ferry leaves for Mykonos at 7! Am really looking forward to seeing the Islands though but we are back into European prices, the cheap $4 rooms of Egypt are a thing of the past now it’s more like 40Euro a night!


The good news is that I’ve managed to book my ferry ticket, the bad news is that accommodation is completely booked out on Mykonos for tomorrow night. So I have a few options, one is sleep on the beach with all my gear which wouldn’t be too bad really provided I dont get dragged away by the local police... mind you then at least I get a free night in a cell right? Or I have from lunchtime till sunset to make a friend and ask to sleep in their room. I‘ll try my chances!

On Monday morning I’m meeting a CS girl from Canada (Suzy) we will be travelling together for about 10 days first stop is the island of Ios then onto Santorini followed by Crete! Before finally returning to Athens on the 3rd (ish) of October in time for the FREE MTV concert being held at the first ever Olympic Stadium in the world! Featuring Kaiser Chiefs and REM should be a blast.



But now its 1130pm and I have an early start tomorrow....

Adios!
