Napflio

So we just booked some more stuff and Italy is ready to go!
Eric figured out how to make it so that this stupid site was in English again. It's a matter of remember more than the basic alpha, beta from math class (I also remember sigma!). We've actually had more issues with that than I thought since, personally, it turns out we learn all lower case and most directional signs like to be all in capitals.
Some other Greek eccentricities for you: 1) very few washroom toilets keep the flusher in the same place. There have been buttons in the middle, buttons in the wall, a switch you have to turn back off or it keeps running, buttons on the floor, and one that I had to pull from the water thingy in the ceiling (gravity and all that)... 2) Shopkeepers don't stay inside their shops. It is often more hot in the shop, and it is boring, and you can't yell at people in the street from the inside. 3) Many shop-men fling these beads around their fingers. You would expect them to be rosaries, but there's not cross/jesus and the beads are too colourful. But it makes this really cool noise and you know they are there for sure. 3) Music ranges from traditional Greek, to modern Greek, to old school pop (like "the right stuff" and george michael etc.), to the random modern pop (i have heard JT, new Maroon 5, and Rihanna-Umbrella). It must be said, the stuff I recognize comes out of cars driving by and coffee shops playing music channels. 4) Greek day-time comedy shows aren't funny. There is a strange obsession with hairy men dressing as women which is weird, and the acting is beyond horrible really. Very stage-y which is not what TV is for.
I had more eccentricities but I can't remember them all right now so I will right more of them later.
The sunset was beautiful as sunsets are but I actually like the one better last night behind the Peloponesian mountains (don't actually know which mountains). It was nice being out at night though. Sadly, I had only kind of seen one sunset until that point cause I'm always asleep, lol. The night was cool with all the restaurants and people out. The shops are almost more lively because it's actually cool enough to think straight.
Yesterday was a long-ish day. We got a ride from the hotel at 10 and waited at the terminal for our 11:30 ferry that was at least a half hour late. The ferry was marked seating and the most comfortable so far. It was also the most expensive, costing as much as the three other ferries we've been on combined. But it was a catamaran and was worth it. The other ferry only saved 20 euro and would have taken 10 hours instead of 4.5. We arrived into Athens around 4:45-5 ish and made our way to the metro. Once off the metro, Eric asked all the gum-stand guys for directions to a city bus that would get us to 'Terminal A' (it's bus 51 by the way) and at Terminal A is the intercity bus station and we were on a 19:00 bus to Napflio and at our hotel by 21:30 :D
Okay, we should do something else... I'm attempting to upload some pictures quickly here so we'll see how that goes.
