A good way to decompress, a short trip away from home again to somewhere not so far this time.. I came away to see Katrina again, to spend time with her and get to know her once more. It's been a good and relaxing few days so far... Went down to the Coast on Monday and caught up with Rob. Had lunch in Main Beach and as usual with Rob, drunk alot of wine...

Everything was the same, as If I'd woken up the next day. Or being home merely feels like a holiday, a quiet retreat to somewhere peaceful and slow.. Expecting to return soon.

The weather has been great and I've been heading all over the place catching up with everyone. Went out with the Cat 'n' 'Canary Crew last Friday having drinks at the pub then ending up in bloody Stratford to go to some Saffa bar called Zulu that was about to shut as we got there.

It's hard coming back after such a great time in Greece. Im staying at the Generator again, the place where my time here one year ago began..... I'm merely here now to tie up a few loose ends, close bank accounts, claim tax, collect baggage and say farewell to freinds. I walked down to Waterloo and around Convent Garden today. It's was nice and I do love this city but Roscohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14729308529570330153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006637.post-1059483972154858162003-07-29T23:06:00.000+10:002003-07-29T23:06:12.096+10:00Athens, Greece. A conctrete jungle. Andrew left early this afternoon to get his flight, I've got all day here before getting my flight back to London at 8pm.... There's a station marked on the Metro map here for the new Olympic stadium so I figured it be worth a look. Took the train up to where it's suppose to be. Get there and the bloody station isn't even finished.

Staying in the main town on the port, its really chilled out here. The sidewalk lined with restaurants and bars, the town itself reaching up the side of the hill. The port filled with boats. Seems more of a fishing town here. Every island so far has had its own unique quality or things to it. Naxos town is probably my favourite town so far.

Decided on a nice little place about 10 minutes walk from the main square in Fira town... I love Santorini already, more relaxed and beautiful than Ios. Completely different altogether.

By day its been great but im soooo over the fakeness and sleaziness of the nightlife here which tends to be the main attraction..... I liked Mykanos a little better i think, more mature crowd. Bring on Santorini now, relax and detox time!!

I awoke around ten this morning after only a few hours sleep in the small and cramped canvas tent we have hired out. Liam was passed out next to me after spending most of the night on someones hamock outside. Had his money and eftpos card taken out of his wallet while he slept... Andrew never came home last night.

Good weather, good beaches and lots of fun. Im now in Mykanos and the place is incredible. The main town is beautiful, narrow streets with buildings of white. We are staying at Paradise beach camping. Myself, Cannizzo and Liam sharing a tent.

I work hard during the week and usually come home tired but happy. My main shifts are Mon to Fri, 10am to 8pm. In more of a routine at the moment and the normaily is great... Do look forward to the weekends, but I'm trying really hard not to spend unneccesarily.

I finished work Friday night at eight then left with the sun still shining. I walked under the tall buildings, weaving my way through hoards of people positioned along all the bars in the area. Caught the tube to my old pub, the camel.. There I caught up with some crew from turkey.

I've now started a new job in a bar called the Cat and Canary. It's situated over at Canary Wharf, a new and modern business district of London on the docklands. With all the tall buildings and shops, the area reminds me more of home than any other part of this city. It's a really nice area.

It's been great to have someone to fall back on and have a place to stay, although I've never been a fan of intruding on other people's spaces. I've decided to look for work again, this will keep me in London for another 6 weeks until my work visa runs out.

Some liitle town in the Cappadocia region. A town settled amongst the hills and rocks of an ancient civilisation whos homes were built into the sides of cliffs and some extremely bizzare shaped rock formations. Being on a tour has ensured lots of touristy things and spending money on entrance fees to see ancient ruins, rocks, thermasl springs and whatever...

It`s such a different way of life here. So much more ancient and I guess backward to... I love it.... Stayýng in a hotel in the old part of the city, narrow streets that look like there falling apart. There's a shitload of Aussies around at the moment, all here for the same reason.

Fairly easy going night, nothing special. Feels weird a little, time to move on and start again. I guess I never really expected to stay this long, you can never really tell how things are going to work out.
