DAY 7
A cruising day. Nothing to report. We ate. We slept. We started gambling.
DAY 8
Athens, Greece
I had done a little indie research on hiring a driver to take us around Athens instead of book a cruise Posted by je55ica in Van Man Der Houn's Mantastic Journeys | Jan 11, 2009
- Athens
Decided to get back to Athens the easy way and just bus it the whole way. Got dumped in a bus station in some random part of town. I did ask for (and get) information on how to get to Posted by NZBarry in Barry in Europe | Dec 28, 2008

So, yeah, I left Singapore; now the travel starts for real.
Entry into Greece was a breeze. I’d panicked a bit, as immigration people can get a bit funny if your onwards plans aren’t complete and I still had the sector Posted by NZBarry in Barry in Europe | Dec 25, 2008
- A rainy Istanbul day is good for catching up
After dragging a 55lb bag to the center, in the rain on Thursday morning, I spent my last day in Athens walking through some of my favorite areas, saying goodbye to things I've come to know and love, wondering when Posted by oceanchild in A Semester Abroad | Dec 20, 2008

Time to celebrate in Athens. I'm finished with my finals (can you believe one took all of 5 minutes?), almost finished packing (two suitcases...I'm going to drag two suitcases to the middle of nowhere in Turkey?), and have two days Posted by oceanchild in A Semester Abroad | Dec 16, 2008
- The bittersweetness of it all
I realize my blog entries have become un-chronological and somewhat discombobulated, but my purpose is to share my experience, not give a blow-by-blow account. That term, blow-by-blow seems quite apropos these days given the climate of unrest in Athens an Posted by oceanchild in A Semester Abroad | Dec 13, 2008
- Riots continue
Today is the 4th day of riots here in Athens and in the rest of Greece. Unrest has filtered as far away as London and Germany where incidents have taken place at the consulates. The Berlin consulate has been occupied Posted by oceanchild in A Semester Abroad | Dec 9, 2008

Leaving Turkey we were both a bit sad as we reflected on our time there. We had met a bunch of good people and had enjoyed a wonderful 6 months with our buddies in our Istanbul flat.

- Sad day in Athens
Yesterday I took a walk to a book store just north of Syntagma near Omonoia. It was a busy day, the streets filled with shoppers, Christmas decor lit up, the aroma of roasting chestnuts filled the air. All Posted by oceanchild in A Semester Abroad | Dec 7, 2008

Myth Busters
This morning we began in Crete and went on our second and final tour – to Knossos (pronounced with the ‘k’) Palace. Our guide was quite entertaining. At first, she spoke very slowly (but with good pronunciation!), and Posted by ecfong in 155,520 Minutes | Dec 5, 2008

Greece has always been a dream destination of mine. The white stucco windmills, the white houses with blue doors and windows, the sunset, the lazy cats and the Mediterranean Ocean, those are very unique beauties where only can be found Posted by ristinw in My Travel Diary | Nov 23, 2008
