Day 3. Trip to Meteora. (English version translated automatically by Google)

Original Version at: http://www.travellive.blogspot.com/

We continue our journey with a family van that resemble the old gypsy, the car and the goat, on the way to Meteora, a unique place in the world. Here we find the ancient monks built monasteries on top of the mountains, using climbing techniques and to resist enemy attacks. However, perhaps human nature itself, there was a time when the monks were killing each other, so that today there are few monasteries.Despite its beauty and uniqueness are unique and no doubt worth seeing. Half way there, we met at the McDonalls Greek, Goodys, Raul, Hector, Patri and Manu. It is the first contact with my friends AND ... all it seems that get along and there is no problem, so we continued our journey. Let's spend the night in the village of Calambaca in the rural home of Greece Joron, is not it the announcement, but ... Joron going which is a full-blown, though, speaks English. When we arrived, the lady received us with the pride of a grandmother and us with hunger own teenagers, it's late and we eat so we split the rooms, we shower and eat on the ground floor, with the light of mate, calm our stomachs with lamb and irrigate instead of house wine, the atmosphere we breathe can not be better, it was ... pure joy, pure being, everyone is laughing and everything is natural, it seems that we knew all of life as children in the awkward age unleashes in us anything excessive laughter, the night passes and decided to take a case of beer to take her to the hall of the rooms, there will drink us all together we spent the night remembering a "nage", the "Alien that bleated about the Cuckoo's Nest," "the blonde Almería", "the rope that killed the child on MORTAL KOMBAT "stuff and nonsense in order that only we know. Some were sleeping directly on the floor of the hall, others by our own feet we decided it was too late and we should relax, others decided to investigate the EVP of the place, but soon all would sleep like little angels, after 900 km. drive, dinner and wine and beer, imagine that I could sleep at ease.It was the second consecutive year that he slept in that room, the second time going to that house, but I had so well the first, I enjoyed so very at that time, I wanted my friends live so I can say without doubt that happen.The next morning we went and finally to the monasteries of Meteora. My friends .... well maybe a little angry with me because I made them bring all the warm clothing they had, it is also true that in Almeria is not having fleeces, but the point is that in the mountains was a sun that melted the back so we loaded the shelter for all. Anyway, we soon discovered that there. The site is spectacular, something you can not understand much to explain or put a lot of pictures, just have to go and see for yourself. The buildings, the area where they are located, the rich paintings from the churches ... is certainly one thing that we are not used. Seen one, seen two .... Time to go. Photo of the day and back to the van, we have to scale Ionanina that is not exactly close, so to drive!

The next morning, we make the tour of duty, Monasteraki, Plaka, in the middle order, but the first thing you do is up to the Parthenon before it gets too hot. Fotito here, fotito here, this "pal Tuenti" this "messenger pal."But what we like to eat, take a stroll down the streets of the Parthenon and decided to eat in a typical tavern. A varied menu with dishes, wine, desserts and a balcony overlooking the Acropolis for less than 12 Euros, I told you here, you live well.When you finish viewing the center decided to see the old Olympic stadium, the Temple of Zeus, Hadrian's Gate and among so much culture, I explained to my friends the key to knowing how were the Greeks. I said,- You see that dog?Well so are the Greeks: Large, with long hair and are all day touching eggs(All from the love that joke).
That night, we had a few COPAZ of Flor de Caña on site courtesy of Jonathan and, together with french fries and we give cenados drunk, so we headed to an area near the hotel with great atmosphere, to take a cervecilla with Mary . Apparently it was the last day we could eat meat until Easter or something and all the bars gives you a skewer of meat with the drink. That night little more, a walk and rest Psiri tomorrow will be a tough day.The next morning, our consumerist desire pushes us back to the center, buy some stuff, eat pitas and in the afternoon we go to Licavitó to see the sunset in Athens, but not before passing through Syntagma Square to make Anne Igartiguru.At the top we continue with the photo shoot when suddenly we heard an accent that can not be elsewhere in the world, and refer to a store that only in Almeria, a fellow at the incredible ass of the world! succeed and comments: "That what's up?, Go chance ..." Toni brings up one of those so fortunate comments that make you feel good about yourself:"If it is already with Vueling flies anyone"Ole, ole ole and its "salt", the pair of Almeria was saying, "... but what is good and it will be believed." Anyway, Toni rectified immediately by saying: "Do not get me wrong interpretéis we have come with a strip vueling also do not go thinking that taco come from ...." The truth is that the strip and taco come from I do not remember if he said in public and then we all, but it has more grace.After such an emotional moment, down the hill, we headed to dinner when Joaquin and I met with a group of Spanish who were very interested in driving out that night, were traveling to race and it was his last day, no had fun since they arrived and were eager to party. I pointed to where they could go out at night and asked me if the phone is lost or something to call. We had dinner and we will arrange to leave that night. For unknown reasons only go out Jonathan, Joaquin, Toni and me. We decided to leave the area Psiri, but first we stopped at a very fashionable club. As we prepare to enter ...

Me: - Good nigth, we are three,
Big BodyGuard: - Hi! it's twenty (each).
Toni: - TWENTY! I am more than facebook.

so we did the same turn around and left.We head Psiri when they call girls. We decided to join them in a very cool bar, but the truth is that there is not much room, is a recent weekday in February and also am not an expert connoisseur of clubbing in Athens.The story should be told here about what happened that night .... is very long and to truth for an entire blog entry. For now I'll just say that since then found a new syndrome. Athens syndrome.The next morning, very tired but with three cafes in the body we are going to rent a van for the Roma of Almeria and Seville. After much fighting, Jonathan, Joaquin and I found a decent van at an acceptable price ... have to go for Bernardo and Sevillanas are in the plaza near the hotel .... Carmen's mother! Crazy, bypasses crosses, but crosses ... It took an hour to reach the meeting point and when we have to cover the tuition for us not fined for video. When leaving, I am surrounded by a billion insects that are bikers, cars, bikes, dogs ... was very late and my friends Manu, Hector Patri Raul and we were hoping to go to Meteora in addition I was pissed because of the caffeine, so I told my churumbeles to close their eyes, let out a scream in the purest kamikaze style and stepped on the accelerator. We are alive and thank God, everyone else.

Day 1: Athens The arrival.

Maybe George Lucas would be looking for and adventure like this and never it show up, but It was neither "long time ago" nor "in a galaxy far, far away". This trip this took place in the south-east part of Europe, Greece. The adventure begans on 28th of February 2008, when three of my friends landed at Athens airport. I was the only one who knew them, but soon began a journey that everybody else will remember them for ever. Athens. Arrival. That day I was traveling with Olga and Blanca, (the girls with more happiness of "toa" Sevilla), Joana and and Bernardo to Athens. Joana was returning from Greece to her wonderful country Poland. We stayed at Maria's apartment in Athens downtown, and after a while, we decidet to be wait my friends at a party, expect at a party my churumbeles arrive .... and here they are! Must be the 3 and a half in the morning when they arrive from the bus. But ... why are walking? Well it seems Joaquin was so keen to see me, where it was believed glimpsed, so they got a couple of stops before the count. What joy to see my children in the country of the pitas and stones ... (Joe said it seems that he has nothing, but for me it is "possibly the best country in the world"). It's late and played sleep, tomorrow will be a tough day and spent almost a day trip since leaving Almeria. Toni, with Mary, Jonathan, Joaquin and I, a very romantic little hotel overlooking the Parthenon at night is amazing. Surely Mariluz and Irene hotel know what it is. Well, in this situation so romantic hotel with three Mazaca as three trucks, perhaps less ideal would be that we were staying at the Hotel Apollon. But do not be fooled by your imagination, as its name implies: A-Pollon: A (the prefix that means without) and dick ... because there was no menu chicken .... Well you remember, I think the real name of the hotel was ERECTION, but that it does and I have no explanation, so I think the first, OK?

The night .... Movidita, I mean, do you remember the earthquake of 7.4 that occurred in Greece this year? Well, my theory is they were caused by Joaquin snoring that night.
