Spec'ing out a segway
I'm soooo tired of walking. We must be doing at least 10km per day and it is driving me nuts. With some better planing I'm sure we would end up walking less as it seems we are always visiting the same spots over and over again because we left our passports at the hotel when we want to book a ferry or just plain have our accommodation very far away. It also doesn't help that we usually eat on the move and there are so many different foods to try plus there are always people telling us to get a specific food when we get to a country and my eyes are usually too big for my stomach. Figs for example, we go to a fruit market in Croatia and we are told we have to get some figs, now I don't what to just buy two figs from the little old lady who looks like it's going to be a life or death sale so I buy a dozen and after six figs for breakfast I'm not moving to fast for the next few hours.
We are now in Athens and have been doing all the usual tourist things. Maria was looking up accommodation before we got here and found a spot close to all the attractions. It wasn't until we were in our room that I picked up the book to read about the area she had chosen which basically said it was a great place to stay if you don't mind the junkies and prostitutes near by..... and I'm the one to get in trouble for wondering around the neighborhood determined to find our hotel without the map. Even the internet cafe we stepped down in is freaky... just guys all watching porn... weird.

Oh, nutbunnies!
Jane was just in Athens last week - but she didn't mention any of the pornwatchers having Australian accents...

Maria mentions the grossest thing being a dirty bandange...you get a cafe filled with Croatian porn watchers...I'm not actually sure which is creepier...
I think the middle aged porn watchers chain smoking was creepier. I went back to one finger typing just for hygiene sake.
Russell, I was just thinking of you the other day when I was searching for reading material to keep busy on the long ferry rides. You are right one great thing about the UK is the huge selection of cheep used books.
