We arrive, find the subway/train stop to get to our hotel, check in and relax until the rest of our group arrives. We check out the hotels room service menu and order 3 euro sandwiches with fries, 4 orders. Then a couple of hours later after a healthy amount of time in a sauna where we lost all of our water weight, we order more food. You need to keep in mind that the the hotel thinks that their are only two people staying in the room and every time ordering 4 meals. What fat asses they must be thinking. Friday we hit up the bars and see people in Halloween costumes but much weirder. We decided that we were gonna save our costumes for Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday we walk around the city seen the sites, and at night they have a huge parade. The parade consisted of groups dressed up in costumes, floats, fireworks and the same 6 techno beat songs on repeat. The city had speakers set up at every street crossing so there was always music playing the same songs morning and night. Every time your heard them you still got pumped for the party. We left to eat dinner and came back, and it was still going on. It lasted for at least 3 and 1/2 hours.
Our Costumes... 5 euro girl wigs
Sunday we visited the castle that was just up a few steps....
it was on top of a hill, looking over the city, and the sea around it.
At night was the closing ceremony where they had a performance with dancing and music on a stage. Then after they set a float on fire. Let it burn! Along with some fireworks! We discover that Greeks are much more friendly when you say your from Australia. So Good'ay Mate! We left first thing in the morning and the only eventfully thing that happened on Monday was that our friend Jamie really had to pee, and there are no bathrooms on the buses, so he ended up peeing in an empty water bottle. Once we got back to our apartment we sat in our beds trying to recover from the weekend.
Video will be up of the parade shortly.
needed those steps to work of all the room service food :)
