Really Here
Just had my ritual souvlaki meal at Thanasos in Athens & feeling that I'm defintely on holiday now. Had a good trip to Bangkok - spare seat next to me - so could spread out. First time had no jet lag. Secret is no alcohol & being totally hydrated a couple of days before setting out. Laxed out in Bel Aire Princess hotel pool for hours first day. Just as well I did, as we had an amazing thunderstorm the next day. Soi 5 has a new minimarket, but I can't go past Farmlands. Didn't sleep much the next day, in fact I had been awake 36 hours before crashing out at Yianni's hotel this morning. Couldn't get into my room until 11.00, so I headed out to Pireaus to buy my ferry ticket for tomorrow night's crossing to Crete. For those of you have travelled that tortuous path-crossing the highway to the dock-you'll be pleased to hear that there is now an overbridge, complete with escalators. One less obstacle for me tomorrow. Well I can feel that beer getting to me now, so better head off for more sleep. Hope all goes well with the sport Lucy & Tawhai, & school too for you both & Phil. All the best for Ero Maurie.
