Lou in Europe
GOD SO MUCH TO SAY!!
Haven't written an entry for ages. been saving myself for one with accompanying photos but everywhere we seem to try in Greece wilkl not let us upload our photos. So not cool. Will try in Spain...
IOS
Totally f***ing amazing! Spent 9 days on this fabulous island when only intended to spend 3. Now we have actually left IOS I am kind of sorry that we did that island first because it seems that the other islands that follow will only be a disappointment. Santorini where we are now is very beautiful - we went to the volcano today amd climbed to the highest point then jumped off our sailing boat and swam in the agean blue sea followed by the hot springs that surround the volcano. So incredibly cool. We then climbed to the highest point of the island - a really beautiful town calld IA and watched the sunset... Took so many phots and I wish you could all see, nothing i could photograph or write could describe the experience. Very cool! The picture for this entry is actually where we were in fact I think I even have a photo of this exact place.
So pretty, everyone should go there with their boyfriends/girlfriends and propose it's that romantic, altho there were the bloody australians sitting above us drinking long necks and being loud and raucous! THERE ARE TOO MANY AUSSIES IN THIS COUNTRY!
Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about Santorini coz it's great and everything but after ios it was just not as amazing in my eyes...
Back in Ios we managed to get a room for like 12 euros each a night and it was located exactly halfway between the beach, Mylopstas and the village, Chora. Had the best view and was really great to be out of the village coz it's pretty crazy in there and people don't go to bed until like 5-6am and we wouldn't have slept (on the nights we weren't partying!).
Beach was very picturesque but really windy coz the island is not really protected so we spent many of our days sneaking around the island into various hotel pools. The most prestigious and expensive hotel on the island was right below our hotel and we swum there often. Also had a mad bar next to it with beds with white cushions and canopies... totally amazing and is set up in the cliff so you look down over the rest of beach and island. Really pretty. Met the bartenders there who made us fierce drinks and gave us free shots of this delicious nordic berry drink.... soooo yummy.
Ended up going out with the bartenders most nights who were cousins both from Athens just having a break and working on the island. I became really good friends with one of them, Ziorzos, pronounced Yagos, he was soooo lovely and very hot, god mad photos. Was really sad to leave him actually :(
Ate great food there, found a beautiful little mexican restuarant populated by australian employees, but had such a nice vibe, they played live music and you could sit in swings and hammocks to eat your dinner... very nice to go before you go out in the village to the clubs, to get you in the mood - for whatever!!!
THE NIGHTCLUBS
Shamrock, Slammer, Flames, Rehab - these were the best. They are all situated in a square built back within the village where no cars can access... they all get going at about one or 2 am and happy hour is usually round 2-4 with 2 4 1 shots or cocktails. We drank the first couple of nights but then decided that buying vodka and playing drinking games in our rooms before we went out made for a more economical night, and then we'd go to the mini marts within the village and buy beers then sneak them in to the clubs under our clothes!! Worked like a dream. People are crazy, we have met sooo many people including many w***ers, who we have ended up partying with too - they just didn't know we were taking the complete piss out of them!! Sooo much fun - the photos completey rock.
I HAVE A KILLER TAN WE ARE ALL ****** b****ES!
Still have another month and a half in the sun but we figured it'll be pretty much gone by the time we return coz Easter europe is going to be getting cold when we're going to be there.
Very tempted to come back to Greece for the final 6 weeks after the busabout and finish the season working round the islands (maybe athens depending where my new friend is?!?! Just kidding!)... I don't ever want to leave, this country is amazing.
Rented motor bikes and went round the island to the other beaches which were beautiful, but mainly we were sooooo excited to be the sexy b****es on bikes. They are these crazy 4 wheeler bikes with MASSIVE wheels and it's such a little bikie culture on the islands coz hardly anyone drives cars. Every beeps at everyone and yells "Heeeeeyyyyyy" or "Yas sas!!" and you feel soooooo cool. I wanna go back soooo badly!
What else, the girls and I have just been getting sillier and sillier... after 3 weeks together our logical and intelligent conversation has worn sooo thin and most of our dialogue exchanges include characters from "we can be heroes" - too bad if you haven't seen it! We have also adopted thick greek accents so-a we-a been-a talking-a like-a this-a, you know-a?!
WIGGEDY WACK
God this is getting soooo bloody long and there is still sooo much to say, my photos tell more stories than I ever could and I wish I could share them with you all, but this country is a little behind the eight ball with their technology - yagos didn't even know how to use email!
Anyway, will upload as soon as I can.
Love you guys and miss you all...

hugs and kisses for you all coz you guys are SWELL!!!
ADIO!!!
