Then we went to Santorinni, we rode donkeys on a steep stairway. The donkeys hung you over a cliff and tried to run. I hated it. Then we went on a sailing ship that did not sail. Then we had fun when we rented a car and drove about the island, then we went to Athens.
Athens
We did all normal things saw all the sites: the Parthenon and its museum and most of its sculptures except for Elgin’s marbles (they’re in Britain cause Elgin took them). We say some kid’s science camp mum wanted to go to. She sprained a ligament and went to the hospital. All on the beaten track.
OK we were going to the airport, dad goes to find the gate because mum can’t walk because (oh I all ready mentioned it). OK dad comes back with a “taxi” guy with a wheel chair who takes us to the plane. We fly to Rome then to Barcelona.
Welcome to Spain! In the days we have been here we’ve got to our apartment. Dad and I went to the aquarium and the Imax, we rode on the tourist bus with mum and rented bikes, while mum did another line on the tourist bus.
Ok now I’m sitting in the apartment under the TV, typing, playing Playmobil and watching prank calls. I’ve got no more to say (finally)

Mykonos. We were in a realy small town/village by European standards. All 2 story buildings, a small town by our standards too but hey we live in a huge country that has very few people so I can’t say. We went for a walk around 12 noon, a few locals at the tavern, the occasional shop selling nick naks and souvenirs, a few gold shops here, a silver shop there. We went back to the hotel, heard a bit of a ruckus down in the harbor went out for a early supper went, quote “on to the beaten track” unquote. The street used to be houses but now the street is all shops, and we can not move through the tourists. The two places I’ve just described are aren’t alike right? Well they’re the Mykonos that you don’t see and the Mykonos you do. If your on a cruse ship, that is. Well, then oh yah, we saw the famous pelican and went Delos, some ancient Greek city then sailed on to Samos for a night

Greek islands: we went to Greek inland of Chios approached the passport check then there was a table, the baggage check, “any alcohol or cigarettes?” I stared at him, mum said no, and dad showed him some raci (Turkish vodka) then we went to a boring 5 star hotel (I like hostels better). Ok then we went to a Goody’s, it’s an all Greek fast food chain that serves things such as green burgers, Greek salads and only uses olive oil for frying. Is that Greek or what? The next day we went to a maritime museum and caught the boat to Mykonos.
Life hard, time flies, I get caught up, aka I forgot a country. Austria so the low down is I all ready have a nice written output class ready, P.E. and Spanish so I’ll fit it in. So a for a run down of the Coast Light. The hotel is big, fussy and fancy aka boring. It’s (over twenty degrees every day) Winter (wow).
OK for Pamalokay and Ephesus, go on line. The only thing is in Pamalokay the water in the springs is tonic water, yes tonic water! We swam in it, too. Well then we went to a funny white plateau that’s the same as the water fall bellow the pool at Fairmont. The next day we went to Ephesus.

Well now we’re in a little town that was hit by a flood. The place is called Olympos. The ocean is so warm I’ve swum twice and there are runs that were over grown with jungle and no archeologist will check it for importance so that they just charge a toll for every body going through and put up signs about it. We were in there for hours and only saw a few other tourists, and only actually met face to face one family. We saw a castle, a Roman Amphitheater, a giant graveyard and other buildings that didn’t have signs. And a plethora of confusing trails, annoying rose bushes, fallen trees, mysterious rock walls and rock slides of well cut rock.
Well I’m numb from sitting here for so long, I have been writing since 3 and its 6 now well maybe not all writing and my mum wants to write an email by the way I’m not not writing I’ve just not had time to post.

Fairy chimneys are long columns of straight up land that narrow at the top although some have bulbs on top that look like hats. AND PEOPLE LIVE IN THEM (hay you have to use caps lock for something) It is crazy, you go up really steep stair to a chimney. Indentations in the wall inside serve as a ladder. I was too short to climb though, so too bad. We stayed in a cave and went on two tours, it was fun enough but you have never ever been to a place as cozy as this. I could not stop sleeping so would I be annoyed if I was woken up at 6 and told to change in to my warmest clothes and my hoody and toque (which is fur and leather from Mongolia, fun souvenir) then standing there in the cold for 30 min then driven to a field somewhere where there was only coffee. Not if it ended in a 45 minute hot air balloon flight and rough landing! Awesomely fun so fun!
