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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
