Stories from Greece #1
On our first night in Athens, after walking around the hotel for a short while, we eventually found a restaurant. We were all starving, so "pizza, bar, restaurant" was music to our ears. We all ordered pizza. Silvi, my mom and I took two family sized pizzas, to mix the flavor, while bf ordered another one for himself. Little did D know about how long it will actually take to get his pizza as they were kind of understaffed that night.
What to drink, we asked? Well, a local beer, what else! We checked the menu and also asked our waiter, who was a pretty crazy and dizzy fellow, which of the beers was local. And he recommended Mythos. Silviana and I smiled at each other. Yes, we had the same character in mind, another Methos! Yes, my friends, the oldest of the immortals from the Highlander series! Mythos beer was our instant choice. Well, all except my mom, who ordered a Heineken.
How does it taste? Well, it tastes like Romanian cheap beer...But who cared? It had to be local! I for one thought the others where to picky. I personally loved the beer, as it was kind of sweet and not that strong, so I could actually drink an entire bottle.
The pizza was great though! My friend Cris was right when she told me about what great pizza the Greeks made! Yes, I know, not really local food, but when you are starving and you get Mythos for the local touch, does it really matter?
Yes, the photos from Greece are still not uploaded. Well, at least not all of them. But here are some, although they still need some explaining: Day 1 and Day 2. This is the place I have selected to have my statue placed. Silviana did the same so it's still an open issue :P
Yes, folks, in 7 hours, I'll be on my way to Athens. I still have 2 more hours at the office, so there are actually 5 hours left for....
....for my list of what I should have done, but didn't. Here it is! Should I mention I am pretty sure most of it will still remain in the "to do" state and not promoted to "done" after 7 hours?
get my luggage ready calmly (i.e. not in a 10 minutes race)
not forget anything I need back in Bucharest
pick my mom from the station
get some sleep before going
shower, long shower...
burn some audio CDs for the road
find already burned audio CDs
print maps of Bulgaria and Greece, just in case
download larger maps and transfer them to my laptop
make some sandwiches for the road (help will be available here)
make coffee for the road (I have this cool cup from my dad that you can use to heat the drink while driving :P)
buy Red Bull for the road (what?!? It's a 16-hour-drive! All help is needed)
talk to Trisi Sis enough to last for these few days (no chance for that now...:((. Sis, where have you been hiding?)
Prepare important papers such as car papers/driver's license/passport/ID. Do not forget said papers at home...
Pray hard that I make it in under 16 hours :D
Pray hard to actually find the hotel easily
Pray some more..
Wish me luck! I will need it. If I get back safely, I will brag about how cool I've been driving so much with no help from other drivers!
