Athens Backpackers
After a very eventful time in Bari,Italy the girls and I made it to Athens...pertty much the place we have all been DYING to go to!
We caught a bus right outside the port and got a quick nap in and were let off in the middle of the city. We grabbed our bags and set out for probably our most expensive hostel, but the coolest one called "Athens Backpackers" which boasted a kick ass happy hour with an unreal view of the Acropolis...and it totally lived up to the reputation.
We checked in with the Aussie run place, got a quick shower and finally got to do laundry!!!! You seriously do not know how amazinggg that was since we had not gotten to do that since Lagos.
So after that we decided to hit the town. We got ready and headed to one of the most amazing views I have ever seen. They had delicious cheap drinks, played Bob Marley, and gave us a shot of Ouzo before we left (the drink of Greece...it is REALLY strong and yuckie!)
Then they take you out on a pub crawl aka one dance bar, but it was awesome and the girls and I got to dance the night away!
The next day we had a FULL tourist day. We saw everything there ever was and E & I stumbled upon the best gyro place in town, and it was 24 hours. We got 2 that day.
YUM.
We saw every ruin in the town and the acropolis was just unreal and so interesting, I was just so happy to be in Athens!
That night we met two guys from Colorado who ended up becoming our travel buddies and we went to the same bar we had from the night before...only difference was someone forgot to mention it was gay man night at the club...it was interesting to say the least. For once the boys felt uncomfortable and the girls were not being cat called. HA.
