Meteora - Greece - 21st August 2005

Train trip to Meteora. Get on the train and I have to order someone to move out of my allocated seat. I think he was an ex prisoner as he had a code tattooed on his hand. He had a broken foot. I could not have given a sh*t. It's a 4 and 1/2 hour train trip and it was my seat!!!!

Then some women comes to me and it turns out her seat number is the same as mine. Once again, I could not give a sh*t, first in, first served. My seat and I told her that too!!!

Then further down the line we cop a stinky old man and god did he smell...He sat there for about an hour. I had my hand over my nose the whole way!

Meteora wa awesome. Richard read through the lonely planet book, we took one of the hotels that they recommended overlooking the rocks and the monestries. We opened the doors to the balcony of the room and there the rocks were in all their glory! I hope my photos turn out well. I bought 2 books with all the pictures just in case they didn't. VIEW FROM HOTEL SEE PHOTO ATTACHED



Richard took me up a foot path to climb the rocks thinking it was the only way up there and almost killed me. I'm not very fit...It's not walking here, it is more like trekking...Not a hobby I will be taking up I assure you!
