Hi all,
Well where did I last finish? We went into London on Friday and arrived to a really wet day - they don't have verandas and we got soaking - so unfortunately bad first impression, the rain didn't let up but we did manage to find our way around most tourist attractions - British museum, Harrods, Tower bride, wesminster and big ben, London Dungeon (was ok but too long wouldn't recommend this), buckingham palace and even a wetherspoons for lunch and breakfast. We went out for tea and met up with Kerri and Brit both nights, we stayed with Paula and Blake so it was great to catch up with everyone! Then we boarded our plane for Athens. We arrived here about 11pm last night and caugt the metro into town. What a dodgy place after dark - luckily another english couple were going to the same place as us and we had safety in numbers - but I was still packing myself, They have mangey stray dogs that follow you around and bark at you, Scary stuff - I was very pleased to see our hotel. ALso in the square where we got off train there were junkies passed out and prostitutes on every corner! Was nicer today without them around - but the traffic is crazy here! We have been to all ancient ruins - trekked up to Acrolopis in 36oC heat I am a ball of sweat, thank god the internet place is air conditioned! We will now head back to our hotel to pick up our packs and head to Pireaus (ports) to catch our ferry to Santorini. Looking really forward to that. We will probably stay there for a few days then head to Paros before we have to come back to Athens and plane/boat to Croatia, we are really looking forward to seeing callum and lousie there!. We hope all is well at home and say a big Hi to everyone.
Luv
Jodie and Andrew
