Super Ferry Animals
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 20 October 2009
The first thing I done this morning was to buy my ferry ticket to Italy, €45 with the 20% discount my ISIC got me. Next up I had to squeeze a visit to the Acropolis in. It should cost €12 but EU students get in for nowt. So my student card has already saved me 20 [...]

Fly like an eagle
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 19 October 2009
My plan to get out and about early to see Athens hasn’t gone very well, I hadn’t allowed for a brutal hangover. Quite frustrating when I didn’t really enjoy the drink either. I eventually got out at just before 17:00. The damn mosquitoes have got at me again, buggers. Are there any hot countries where you [...]

Neighbourhood of the Gods
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 18 October 2009
They’ve upgraded me at the hostel for free, I’m now in a 4 bed (not bunk either) en-suite dorm instead of an 8 bed (bunk) one. They had some trouble with the lads in the 8 bed one and don’t want to put other guests with them, result. From the look of their sunglasses and [...]

By the beard of Zeus
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 17 October 2009
The thing I’m wanting from Greece most … warmth. There’s no heating at all in the bathroom at the guesthouse I’ve been staying at and when in the shower this morning the water started to cool just after I’d applied shower gel to my body, it was then a frantic race to get as much [...]

The Monasteries of Meteora
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 3 August 2009
If you are traveling to Greece, you probably plan on visiting Athens and/or one of the many beautiful islands. I would never consider advising against this, but I would like to suggest adding Meteora to your itinerary. Meteora is around 350 kilometers north of Athens, so it’s a bit out of the way, but it is [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Breakfast in Tel Aviv, Lunch in Athens and Dinner in Rome
Blog: Everything Everywhere - 5 May 2009
What a day. I’m still exhausted even after a night’s sleep. Yesterday was probably the second most grueling day of my travels (the first being the 30 hours I went from the Solomon Islands, to Nauru, to Kiribati, to Fiji, to Hawaii). I got up at 3am in Tel Aviv and left for the airport [...]

My Big Fat Greek Layover
Blog: Everything Everywhere - 2 May 2009
I only have a few hours left in Israel. At 4am tomorrow I take off to the airport for my 7am flight to Rome. I’ll have an eight hour layover in Athens, so I’m going to try and make the best of it and so see the Acropolis in the time I have. It should [...]
