We're not in Toto any more Kansas

Well tomorrow we enter Turkey.
This is the first part of the trip where things get a bit hairy.

Like we will probably be searched at the border, need visas etc.
Except me! Everyone loves a New Zealander. The South Africans needed to buy about 400 pounds worth of visas and we need nothing... It is fun being from a friendly country.

Today I am in Kavala. So far the most notable thing has been that it looks like what I imagine Mexico to look and I passed a dead cat on the way to this internet cafe. The other guys in the cafe have mullets. I think hicksville Greece probably sums it up.

I am almost half way through the trip, which is kind of exciting and sad too. Heaps to go, with lots of really interesting stuff. I have no idea what to expect from the eastern block countries, so I am hoping for loads of cool surprises.

Yesterday we visted Athens and saw the Parthenon (not to be confused with the Panthenon in Rome) at Acropolis and Zeus's Temple etc. They aren't exactly spectacular, but it is hard to escape from the fact those places are thousands of years old and there they are standing right in from of you and will probably stay standing there for another thousand years.

Nothing much else to report. I should have lots more stories in the next few weeks...

Jasu!
