ALRIGHT, haha ahh that has become my new catchphrase. Anyways we are writing one last blog before we depart for CRETE!!! ahhhh our ferry leaves at 9 at night and we arrrive early in the morning and I can't wait!! As much as I love the city of Athens, we have pretty much exhausted all sites/districts/things to do and we are definitely ready to be back in gear.
Yesterday we went into the mysterious Exarhia. WE had asked several people about the district of Exarhia and they pretty much all said the same thing....ANARCHISTS!!! haha this proved to be such an intriguing concept that we decided it was pertinent that we pay a visit! We were expecting to see anarachy running amuck through the streets but there was nothing of the sort. In fact it was just like a really bohemian relaxed area. It actually reminded me a tad bit of boulder haha. We spent hours looking for anarchists but all we found were alternative people with a lot of peircings drinking coffee haha. None the less it proved for an interesting day, and I even bought a shirt! ohhh we even ran into our friend Barnsey (who works at athens backpackers) and he hung out with us for a while.
ahh I almost forgot taking the metro to Exarhia ended up turning into a silly situation. So me and chelsea are walking down the escalator to catch the metro when we hear the train pulling up. So we both decide to book it down the escalator in hopes of catching the train. Chelsea is ahead of me and as we both get of the escalators we have to round a corner. We can see the train, and I am running really fast but i'm wearing rubber flipflops with absolutely no traction and I kind of like fishtale around the bend and almost eat it. Anyways to make a long story short Chelsea just barely manages to get on the train, and I watch the doors close. In panic we bang on opposite sides of the glass this just makes the situation even more hilarous and eventually I have to give up go sit down next to these two asian girls who had just witnessed the entire thing and wait for the next train. haha it was soo funny
When we got back we paid a visit to the Hostel because we are addicted to Athens Backpackers haha and they let us help them out in exchange for drinks on the rooftop bar haha. So we hung out there for like an hour and helped them set up the bar and then we headed back to Ana's and ate a lovely dinner with her. Later on in the night we went back to the rooftop bar and actually ran into someone that we had met our first nights in Athens. Around 10ish we headed to James Joyce, a local bar, and watched the soccer game with Barnsey and some other people from the hostel. WE then got the drunk munchies and marched right into a pastry shop and ordered two delicious looking brownie cake things and ate them in Monastiraki square, they were so delicious!!! After that we headed back to Ana's and called it a night
WE are now embarking on the next part of our adventure and I am sooooo EXCITED!!!!!! wish us luck on the beautiful island of CRETE!!!
HOPE the states are well.
LOVE YOU
Alrightyyyy welll
