so many stories

i have so much to say. so much has happened in the past two weeks since my last post. clearly im quite hopeless at keeping a blog. but part of that could be because i have been riding camels and sailing along the nile and visiting 4000 year old temples. and also i am back in greek mode, in this mode i can not be bothered to do anything. like i said last post, sleeping is my hobby here, the other day i woke up pretty early, 1pm. and i discovered the perfect hangover cure, i will let you in on my secret because it actually works: gelato. i had watermelon flavour and passionfruit. YUM! and i felt soo good, i started singing james brown. i was with my lovely friends elise and christina and we went down to the white tower to chill and talk and for me to lie around and feel sorry for myself. but then something terrible happened. fabio was approaching. ok, i will introduce fabio, he's a bit of a thessaloniki celebrity, he wanders around everywhere with his shirt unbottuned down to his belly button, his hairy chest clealy visible and his hair is pulled back in a pony tail. elise pointed him out and next thing we know he's approaching, he introduced himself, fabio is a much better name so we don't need to know his real name, he shook all our hands, i swear for about 5 seconds too long and then he proceeded to lie down in front of us, sprawling himself right near our feet, we had no idea what to do. apparently he's a fashion photographer (whatever) and he's originally from america.. go away!... he kept talking and then ben 'called' and we had to leave. thankyou to elise and her quick thinking. he shook our hands again for far too long, he held mine for a bit, i felt a little bit of a finger stroke. aaaaaaa. but here he is, famous fabio. hope he doesnt find this post.
then we went and found a new spot to lie around, fabio was keeping a close eye on us but we managed to escape his watching eye. we went near the tower of alexander the great, one of the guys skating there lost his board in the water. poor guy, he just sat there and watched his board disappear.
i actually had a really good hungover day. elise, paddy and i went back to their house and elise cooked up her delish couscous salad and we watched america's top model. elise and i decided to go and top model down at the white tower. watch out tyra banks. she does not know what she is missing!
so since my last blog we have experienced 'the ultimate australian erasmus party', a dream in egypt and yet another disasterous night at eightball. and of course a couple of very enjoyable and not at all boring classes at uni. soo i should start with the party. well what can i say, australian's really know how to party. i would say that this is going to be remembered for some time! and there is another one befor we all leave! so watch out erasmus kids! party time!

then there was an early morning straight after this and off to egypt ben and i flew. i managed to get 2 and a half hours sleep but ben got zero. yep, zero. i really don't know how he managed for so long and he wasn't grumpy or difficult to be around. as soon as we got to cairo we slept for a few hours though and then went for dinner where we discovered our new favourite food: koshiry, amazing!
we did have a pretty fantastic room; the bed covers matched the curtains which matched the wallpaper which matched the seat covers and even the carpet. it was like living in 5star in the 60s.
the next day we had an incredible day. all i can say is incredible. i couldn't believe and i still can't believe that i was there. what a dream and i now realise how lucky i am to be able to see such beauty and amazing things and i encourage everyone to travel travel travel! you haven't lived until you see and experience these things.. there is so much beauty.. soo inspiring. words can't describe.
its also very fun.
now i must go to bed. halkidiki party beach fun tomorrow and i must get my sleep. i will update more about egypt soon, i promise. its too amazing to miss!
till next time, and it won't be for a fortnight!
caiou!
