lil’ snow white

Athens was immensely beautiful.. i love e Acropolis n e Agora! every pic taken was like of postcard quality.. i have a fren who now is considerin greece as her honeymoon destination, n another who told me he’s never thot of gg to greece till he saw my pics!

jus look at that clear, blue sky n the sunshine! i absolutely love e weather haha.

e historical sites at Acropolis

athens apparently is not that tourist-savvy. they do not rent audio guides even at such a popular place! damn.. there’re tour guides to hire tho, but we din since we were quite on budget. n i suspect ray doesnt give a shit abt e history behind these structures lol..

lovely pics

i kinda hate walkin ard without knowin how these buildings came abt n their story etc. i only had some pathetic info which i printed off e net.. but e weather made up for everything! hehe. been deprived frm sunshine for too long in london. i dun exactly love scorchin sun n im not a beach babe, so i dun hate livin in london, but e sun + cool weather in athens was jus wonderful!

the giant temple of Olympian Zeus

wat remains of e giant temple today is jus a couple of columns.. but e pictures turned out brilliant! gosh.. again every pic looks like it’s worth a print on a postcard haha. n i’ve not done ANY photoshop color adjustment etc on all e athens pics! whoa.. love athens!

n then i had crepes - nutella, hazelnut, caramel!

at one of our lunches

ray always ends up wif weird food, cos he always tries to order e most exotic n different stuffs. e drink he’s havin is Aryan, a bulgarian drink made of kan sour yoghurt n water.

me: how’s it?
ray: *takes a deep breath* it’s… different
me: *take a sip* oh YUCK… it seriously tastes like shit
ray: *takes another sip* hmm.. it’s ok lar. actually it’s not tt bad
me: wah.. u really noe how to self comfort urself leh. wahaha!

dinner at an old tavern

we got e set menu

at this nice old taverna, e old owner presented us wif 16 dishes at our table, out of which we hadda choose 5. e choosin process was quite fun! sthg different! hehe.

on another nite we had dinner at this really nice restaurant. e food was not as good tho haha. we had a couple of drinks (i mean 1 glass for me haha) n then it was time to go clubbin!!

love e decor n ambience

drinks at e nice restaurant

initially it was quite borin cos obviously ray is not a dancer, e music was quite house n i din feel like dancin on my own. after a while i jus cldnt stand standin ard n watchin ppl have fun, so i started dancin on my own wahaha!

ray started suggestin that we cld go check out other places, to see if there’re rnb clubs ard. kao.. wanna waste my money again. obviously u dun club.. so even if we go to an rnb club, im not gonna enjoy it.

so anyway e nite went on n it got more n more fun! they started playin rnb n ray started dancin after downin 6 bottles of heineken. then they switched e music to greek clubbin music which was so totally happenin n cool! I LOVE GREEK MUSIC!! hahaha. somewat indian, middle eastern, mysterious n sexy. yum yum.. not for e normal singaporean clubber, but for me it was fantastic! i think fiona wld have loved it very much too. wished she was there wif me.. bleah.

me after clubbin. was so warm, i din need stockings at all!

shoppin in athens

one of e days was spent shoppin ard ermou street n explorin e plaka area. ray was nice enough to go ard wif me as i checked out all my fave mango, zara, bershka boutiques. haha! found some quite good bargains there hee!

n we checked out e port at piraeus too. there wasnt much at piraeus..

n it was damn freakin warm.. i din like e scorchin sun that day.. argh.

on our last nite, we decided to have dinner at an old taverna recommended by lonely planet - e old taverna of psara, ie. e fisherman’s tavern.

my beef caserole was okok

OMG wat shit is that?

e waitor advised ray against havn seafood cos e good ones come in portions too huge for him. he insisted on havin some seafood cos that’s like e cool thing to do.. so he got… 1 BURNT HUMONGOUS OCTOPUS TENTACLE!! hahaha. 笑死我了.. haha!

we also went to see e Acropolis at nite..
n ppl makin out at BLOW HILL. haha!

lunch - YUMMY seafood platter

on our last day we had lunch al fresco at one of those hippy restaurants along e most touristy spot in athens. e lunch turned out quite nice! lucky huh.. if not i’ll be complainin again haha. e small fried fish was yummy! i cld swallow e bones but ray cldnt! heehee.

omg why’s ray eatin SHIT again!!!

n then we visited e Agora before we left athens. it was one of my fave place in athens actually. at first look u’ll think there’s nothin there, all ruins which no one prolly can figure out how they used to look like, except frm e drawings on e info panels. however, e pics turned out really beautiful.. i really cant believe e pics. imagine doin a (weddin) photo shoot here. woooo.. perfecto!

I enjoyed bein in Athens very much. e weather was good, food was not bad, clubbin was fun, historical sites beautiful.. n e overall feel wonderful! I love Athens.. but a short trip wld be good enough. couple tt wif some island hoppin n i’m sure it’ll be perfect!
