Saturday, June 7 - Athens

Today we embarked on a 'discovery' tour of Athens - trouble is Darryn and I had already discovered pretty much all there was to discover in Athens thanks to our cunning sense of adventure and desperate search for garments. Anyway we got talking to some of the people on the tour bus, and hey, they weren't all bad. Still stupid though, in my opinion. We saw lots of dogs and stuff, and made it all the way to the Acropolis where, I'm sad to say, the fifty thousand-strong crowds had a somewhat sobering effect on the whole experience. But we got some nice shots. Darryn kept goofing around on the video camera and I got the shits at one stage because he cut me off mid-sentence. Seriously, I was saying some important shit.

After a tour of the old city we went on a three-hour long search for an Internet cafe with the mission of discovering some authentic Greek theatre or classical music concert or any bloody thing which would make this a little less like an organised tour and little more like an authentic Greek experience. Anyway we found an Internet cafe but didn't find anything else. Darryn's suitcase showed up later so we got happy.
