Final Recap

Ok.....I know I am still trying to blog about my trip. It's been so long I don't even remember what happened next. Except that there was alot of shopping, alot of food and somewhere inbetween, I managed to fit in a session at a resort/pool place whilst enjoying rostis and pork knuckles. So lets have a quick recap of what happened on my trip.....

  • I got dragged to a porn cinema on my first day in Turkey
  • I've mastered the art of bargaining at the Grand Bazaar and found their weakness in people like me throwing curses on them because I don't get the discount I want
  • We developed a strange obsession about "Christine". Just saying the name will cause us to burst out into uncontrollable laughter with alot of screaming and bomb threats. This also caused us to sit silently together and then suddenly scream out "CHRISTINE!" out of no where for sheer entertainment.
  • Us getting screwed nonstop by the Greek cabbie drivers who pull the fare out of their ass and round up all the prices.
  • We were at the Acropolis but then someone insisted that it wasn't the acropolis despite the fact that the place was swarming with people and then made me climb down the side of the mountain to run to another "Acropolis" only to find out that we were at the wrong place and we were in the right place in the FIRST PLACE! *Deep breath*
  • There is only so much pita rolls and Moussaka you can eat before you feel sick
  • Mykonos has seriously changed our lives. Skandinavian Bar has seriously changed our lives. We will never be the same again after Incident J, F, FG and all the other A, B and Cs in between.
  • Petros!!!
  • Drinks are fugging exxy! Vodka and OJ in a water bottle any day for me thanks!
  • Oil Paintings galore!!!
  • Plenty of naked people at the Mykonos beaches. Beauty and the Beasts.....
  • ME getting screwed over and over again by Moishii. Sif you try to leave without me! Sif you ignore the *signals*! Sif you try to make conversation when we are trying to escape! AND AS IF YOU TRY AND OVERTAKE DURING THE MOST NARROW PART OF THE ROAD! *SMACKS*
  • Exchange Woman
  • $40 Woman
  • Constipated Woman
  • Us getting chased by dogs continously
  • Us getting stranded on the island!!!!!!
  • The 24hr cafe that wasn't 24hrs
  • Me getting the door slammed in my face all the time
  • Us waiting at the airport for 6hrs for our friend. We know the Athens airport very well now.
  • Olympic airways have the cheapest tickets for the flights from HELL!!
  • Our friend losing his luggage. TWICE.
  • Our "panic attacks" for the flight home
Wow.........more has happened on this two week trip than in a year! Of course, plenty more had happened which we are not to talk about unless I get extremely sloshed and you can coax the truth out of me. Chances are, I'll be taking it with me to my grave. :D Turkey and Greece has really opened my eyes! This is probably my first trip that wasn't to Asia. Well...except the asia side of Turkey. But the culture and the people are fascinating! Everything is so vibrant! The trip has certainly changed me. Particularly Mykonos. That has changed all of us. We never appreciated Mykonos for what it was. It is now that we are back in Sydney do we miss that place so much! We have so much unfinished business.....we need closure. We need to go back!!
