Thessaloniki (Salconica) - Greece - 23rd August 2005
Salonica also known as Thessaloniki. There really isn't much here...It is just one busy city like Melbourne with too many cars. I am currently in the an internet cafe and the bloke next to me is scratching his privates.....I know it's disgusting but I had to share that with you all. The internet is cheap here. $2.50 per hr as opposed to $6 per hr on the island.
We visited an old prison this morning that was holding prisoners until 1989. It was so povo....The prisoners in Australia get it really good compared to this thing...concrete and barbed wire...nothing more.
My legs are really killing me from all the walking we have been doing. I left Richard to go for a walk in the afternoon. Once he was gone I took off to the shops. The street our hotel is on has the best cheap clothes shopping in town and the lonely planet book leads me to believe it could be the best in Greece. I didn't buy anything as the clothes were mainly cheap and nasty. The ones I did try on made me look like a Greek tramp! The girls here are all skinny and good looking. As they get older, they get fatter and uglier. There is a god!!!!
Tonight we went out for dinner and bought our next lot of train tickets. Tomorrow we are off to Volos. There is a beach there and Richard can swim, which will make him happy ;-)
