The return of me
Hello again!

Greece was hot! And Athens rock! If you ever find time and money, you should most deffinitly go there! Athens has everything one may need! City, shopping, sightseeing, museums (130 or more), nightlife, clubs and bars, restaurants with great food, beaches, nice hot weather (may be uptill 40 degrees celsius) The city is "small" it has a center, so you can practically walk everywhere, and the metro and buss system (in general all public transport) is easy to use.

I fell in love with the city. Just one thing: remember to ceep as much in the shadows as you can, and protect your head! Use a hat, bandana, caps, whatever, just ceep your head away from direct sunlight, or else you will soon have great head aces!! Beware! Both me and my boyfriend got it. Oh, we got sunburned to ;p So remember to take good care of your skin if you ever go to a hot place! Air conditioning is a must, and a refrigerator in the hotelroom came in handy! Imagine extremely hot days, and then coming home to a nice cool room with cold coke in the refrigerator...

We werent in Athens only though! We went to the islands too! Or, two of them; Paros and Naxos. Paros lies 4 hours by boat away from Athens, and Naxos is 30 min away from Paros. Paros was filled with Norwegians. So was Naxos. lol. On both island there are several towns, but we were only in the towns with the harbor, i dont remember their names. Anyway, Paros was a little bit to boring for me, since the only thing you could do there was swimming and laying on the beach. But the town was sweet, all white houses. Naxos had a bigger town, and i came to like it. Still, the one and only thing to do is laying on a beach and taking a swim :D Even though i think the town on Naxos had some good clubs and bars, we were to tired to go clubbing, so i dindt try it out.

After Greece, we went to Denmark, but first, i want to tell about the travel from Greece to Denmark. As you know, we went to the islands outside of Athens, and the trip back to Athens took us almost all the day. We spent the final night in a luxurious hotel, and that was great! Nice experience.. :) So, the flight was in the morning, and we had to wake up at 6 o'clock. We took the metro to the airport, but one problem: we suddenly had to change the train and wait for quit a long time for the other train. So we were delayed, and came to the airport 20 min before take off!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check in. We found it after 7 min (big airport!) Long line, but we cheated and got in first. 10 minutes left. Running to the gate. Hand luggage chech. Also a looong line. But we got past that one to, by using this great exuse: our flight is in 5 min, please, let us throuh... lol
we got there in time. And then the flight was delayed by 30 min.

We had to land in Marokko first, but didnt change air plain. Still, they checked our passports. Then we landed in Munich (Munchen), and had to change air plane. The airport in Munich is /very/ big. We landed in terminal 1 (I forgot my book in the air plane, Michael Moore "dude, wheres my country". But i've had that book for two years without being able to finish it)) And we had to get to terminal 2, with was a 15 minutes walk. Once we got there though, we found out that we couldt check in because the check in for our flight stopped 25 minutes before take off, and we were there 19 minutes before. That sucked. But, since it wasnt our foult that our air plane had landed in terminal 1 instead of 2, and that it was delayed by 30 min , we got in to the gates without any boarding
pass. By pure luck. So, there we were, running to our gate again. But we did make it :)

So after that trip, we were quite exhaustet.

In Copenhagen we stayed at my little brothers place, and that saved us alot of money. To bad though, it rained almost every day. We went to "tivoli" (hmm, tivoli.. amusement park?) the zoo, the city... And we also went to visit some people my bother knew outside of Copenhagen, in Hillerød. There we went to see a castle or two, one which the royal family of Denmark holds as a summer castle, and one which is open to the public. I dont remember the names. It was shure big and... big though. Very.. royal. XD

Nya, ive written too much already, ill stop know. And if anyone realy read it all, i hope i didnt bore you to death. Take care!
