Holy Eclipse!

Day: 29

So I was a naysayer…
I though it would be interesting to see this eclipse, but I never imagined something like this. It was amazing, the world went completely black and you could stare strait at the sun and see this brilliant circular flare, my pictures can never do it justice, even if I had [...]

At Least I Didn’t Get Sunburnt

Day: 28

Well, now that I actually have sunblock and the fact that I was slightly hungover I decided I’d just take it easy and walk down to the beach, sit in the sun and listen to music. A bold plan, but one I thought I might manage to carry out. By the time I was [...]

$20 Sunblock

Day: 27

I rolled out of bed around 9am, and thanked whoever was in charge for letting me get back to my normal sleep cycle. All that waking up at seven for the first three weeks of my trip was really starting to F with me. I headed over to the kitchen and started my day [...]

Beach Day in Turkey

Day: 26

I rolled over and woke up I my treehouse when the roosters started making a ruckus around 6:30am. The night before had been a great time but I was still feeling it a little, mainly in my bladder. The bathroom is about 50 feet away and I’m sure I can still hold it for [...]

Traveling Hell

Day: 25

I was rudely awoken as the ferries engines rattled to a stop as we pulled into the port of Chios, Greece, at 5am. I put my contacts in, took a piss, grabbed my bag and headed out with everyone else to the cold, windy, island of Chios for a 3 ½ hour wait until [...]

Ready to Move

Day: 24

Well the twenty-two hour train ride for Istanbul today was cancelled and replaced with a ferry ride that is ten hours shorter and gets us closer to our destination in southern Turkey. The ferry didn’t leave until 7pm so that left most of the day for me to chill out and do a little [...]

Shaved

Day: 23

Woke up today with a new plan to see Turkey starting tomorrow. I headed downstairs and joined some American girls who just got back from Turkey for a breakfast of toast and Nutella (A hazelnut spread, kind of tastes life a mix of chocolate and peanut butter) and a cup of tea. The told [...]

Greece is Being Rebuilt by the Greeks

Day: 22

Wow! Cheap Greek wine is not quite as good to you in the morning as the cheap Italian wine I had been drinking for the last 11 days! I stumbled to the bathroom around 11:45am looked in the mirror and realized I looked like shit and was feeling a little on the rough side. [...]

Stood up in Athens

Day: 21

End of the third week and I still haven’t been robbed! Right after breakfast I left my hostel and left the country of Italy, to take a two hour flight to Athens, Greece. I arrived in Athens at about 2:30pm after the time change, I picked up my bag and found the [...]

So this morning it was time to say goodbye to Matt and Dan, these two days with them just flew by. I meet them in front of their hotel at around 9:15 and we set out to get some breakfast for them at the grocery store, which we had a picnic in the [...]
