We all arrived safely! the plane trip was awful, but we were all pretty much ok after it, though exhausted. straight aftr we got on the plane, we got taken for a tour around Athens and to the Acropolis and the Parthenon which was pretty intense. Though we were buzzing off excitement and adrenaline, so no one fell asleep!
Athens is a pretty crazy place. People don't seem to care about the road rules, and from any poit in the ciy, you can hear 1000000 people beeping their horns at any point in time.
Today we left for a 3 day tour around greece on a bus. we saw the theatre at epidaurus, Corinth canal, Mycenae, and drove through heaps of other towns. the temperature was pretty chilly actually, around 15 degrees and rainy. the sceneray was amazing though. 'it's all so untamed and rugged!" according to grace.
We are in a pretty nice hotel in olympia no and are going tosee some more ancient sites tomorrow! excitng!
Hana will be writing next time :D
hope everyone is well back home!

advice: -Don't live behind your camera but take loads of photos and remember to get photos with you in them! it's always tragic when u get home and realise that there are none of you LOL no attractive ones anyway hehehe
-remember where you are, don't be too naive every place has murders and molesters
-Don't get home sick, it's a waste of time, you will be home soon (unfortunately 4 u guys)
