More pictures

So we're back now and we have lots more pictures. I am just going to post them with short captions.















A very little car in Paris.















Picture of Big Red from Paleochora, Crete.















A cool tunnel/boardwalk in Heraklion, Crete..




















Our "hut" in Ios. It was quite nice for 6 euros each a night. Can't complain.

Well, that is all the pics that are really worth posting. Time to get back to the old grind and heave-ho of things. We will see you all soon... just need to get over jet-lag. PZ.

"Mind the Gap"

We arrived in London last night and so far I'm not all that impressed. We have had very little sleep these past couple of days so we did some sight-seeing this morning and then had a nap. The camera broke, again! It's been a complete menice on this trip. We picked up a disposable camera tonight and we've been having fun with it.

Camden Market was on our list today and it was another market that went on and on for ever. It wasn't quite as cheap as the ones in Rome and Athens. I suppose, though, that for locals it is probably quite cheap.

We are using the computers at the McDonald's near our hostel. They have a computer lab type area upstairs and you can get internet service. Pretty cool.

Anywho, we head home tomorrow. It will be nice to be home and eat normal food. (Today I got a hot dog that tasted like someone had stuffed napkins inside the "skin"). Also looking forward to not having to wear my sandals in the shower. Oh the nice things in life....

We will see you all soon; hope all is well.

We ran through a swarm of bees!!!!

Yesterday Mike and I rented an ATV and went all over the island. We went to Homer's Tomb on the east coast of the island and to get to the actual tomb we had to run through a HUGE swarm of bees. Then I almost stepped on this huge snake. I personally don't mind the bees but the snake is a whole 'nother story!! Yikes. It was so fun ATVing. It was Mikes first time ever on one so that made it even better. Overall the last couple days have been relatively boring. We've been sleeping a lot so as to not be tempted to spend too much money..lol...

Sorry to have this so short with no pics, but still can't upload the :(

The sand is like brown sugar..

Mike and I are on Ios Island right now. We have been here for one week and have one more week to go. It is beautiful here and we are staying at a beach resort. Unfortunately, there is no where on the island that I can upload my pictures.

We are living in a canvas shed type thing. The accomodations are surprisingly cheap, but the food and whatnot is quite expensive. It cost $12 CDN to do half a load of laundry yesterday!! Ouch!

We were planning on getting jobs here but we found out that you have to commit to 45 days and then they give you your full paycheck. (you only get paid partial up until that point). Plus the work days are 12 hour shifts 7 days a week and it only works out to $28CDN/day!!!!

So in the end, Mike and I are coming home 3 weeks early. We're not too sad about it because we have done everything we came to do. We both feel like we have been gone for months. We will now be home around June 20th.

We will be sure to upload the rest of our pictures once we are home. Next week we will leave Ios Island and head back to Athens for a couple of days then back to Italy to catch our flight to London. We will stay in London for 2 nights before heading home on June 19th.

Anywhoe, time to head out, see you all in a couple of weeks.
