Hello! We left off in Naples, with our day trip to Pompeii. We made the mistake of not picking up a map or buying an audioguide at the gate and spent the next 3 hours walking around ruins which all look the same and having no way to differentiate them! The preserved bodies were quite interesting though, it was odd looking in a glass box at some poor guy who died 2000 years ago! Pompeii is definitely somewhere to go back to and do properly. From Naples we made o...

Good morning! On the last update I said that we were going to catch a ferry that night. Well, that didn't happen. The Greek public transport system is a/ one of the worst I've ever used and b/ run by complete idiots. We left our hostel at 10, giving us 7 hours to make what should be a 3 hour journey. The people in Athens train station told us to get on a train, we got on it. It terminated shortly and we asked again and were directed to another train. We eventua...

Good Evening! Thought I'd update this as we got a lot done today and I'm not sure when we'll next be getting online. So today we explored Athens. Went out this morning and walked up to the Parthenon on the Acropolis, it was pretty damn cool. Although, I preferred seeing it in the dark when you can't tell that there's a whole load of scaffolding keeping it up! From there we went to the Temple of Zeus, this was basically 8 pillars (maybe less) standing in a big f...

We made it! We're in Athens! After an early start, walking 45 minutes to get a bus that left at 5am we arrived in Thessaloniki in the north of Greece. Due to the train cut backs there are no boards telling you the time or what platforms trains are at. This caused a slight problem. We booked at train for 10.13, my watch said it was around 8.30, we had loads of time to kill. So just went on the computers and started looking for hostels etc, when Grace notices that...

Hello! Where did I leave off? Our last day in Vienna took us to the Naschmarkt in the morning. A big market where everyone sells the same food. We were given lots of tasters, the only downfall of that was everyone then wanted us to buy the food, so we perfected the look of confusion, saying "english" and walking away. The other end of the market was basically a car-boot sale. A lot of crap which I can't believe anyone would buy. There were PS1s and old...
