Santorini to Athens
Sunday, June 08, 2008
This is probably the most expensive post ever because I'm paying 2 Euros for half an hour of internet. But I can't wait anymore because the longer I wait.. the less I can describe how wonderful Greece is. I'll see how much I can type in this half an hour...
Back in Athens from Santorini now.. Today has been quite a disappointing day. Basically there are 3 beaches in this Greek island.. the Red, White and Black Beach. Having a ferry to catch at 3pm.. and that the buses don't run to the red and white beaches as often.. we decided to nuah only at the more famous Black beach.
Black beach, well, has black sand. Black volcanic sand which we all kopped some back. Haha. So if you received nicely decorated bottles with black stuff inside, yes, they are all DIY presents. But hey.. it's authentic Greek Santorini Kamari Beach Black Sand.
We didn't suntan under the sun chairs and the umbrellas for long before this guy came and demanded 6 euros from us for using their 'facilities'. Hmph.. I would pay if I were there the whole day but he didn't give us any discount for just another 1.5 hours of nuahhing at the beach using 'their facilities'. Fine. We left back to our hostel. I dunno about the rest.. but I was highly sianned that we did not get to enjoy the beach. After all.. the Greek beaches are famous........
At least we got to see a topless sunbather..
Headed back to the hostel.. swam in their pool.. before we took the 6 hour ferry back to Athens.
Totally boring 6 hours.....
Now I'm back in this hostel.. where they split us up into 5 and 1.. So I decided to be the lone ranger and sleep alone in another dorm. Which wah lao eh.. was damn smelly and hot when I went in! It was like saturated sweat smell and the windows were not open!! In the dark I only could make out half naked ang moh guys sleeping on the bed. Yes, so now I'm making myself comfortable in the mezzanine level just above the reception and spending the night there.. alone.. but well.. definitely no smell and much cooler.
Heard a bunch of Singlish speaking people checking in just now. Didn't have a chance to talk to them. Hope to see them tomorrow. Hehe. It's always nice to hear the accent overseas. =)
