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!

We slept on the train to Istanbul, the taxi to our hostel ripped us off, by stopping too early and pointing us in the wrong direction. Then we did the same as in Thessalonica the only thing is that the Grand Bazaar does not I repeat DOES NOT have everything all it has it stuff for tourists and people who say “can I rip you off nicely? Just a little bit” So now I am caught up. I will try more descriptions when we are in Spain, remind me if any body is actually reading this. . By the way Turkish Delight is a stick to your teeth bad tasting candy right? You have never ever been to Turkey, Turkish Turkish Delight is SOOO good.
To see the sea, the wonderful sea.
We left Belgrade at 6am and arrived in Thessalonica at 12 pm, what a day hahaha wow. We went to new hotel and in the morning rode on the hop on hop off bus around town. On the day next day we explored on foot then the next day and so on and so forth. Oh yeah, by the way, we went to little coffee shops where they served water and cookies with the coffee and we played cards (mainly Egyptian War).

Budapest on both side of the Danube river which at least in the city is like a lake with a current. The first day we went to a palace and the Gellert spa hotel with the most boring pool. The next day we went to some Synagogue and after that we went to aqua world. It had 11 water slides all being not for babies it was so much fun the only problem was that we stayed too long. The third day we went to another famous spa it was fun this time and it had a relay fast current. Fun on a cold day. Then we left Budapest for Thessalonica train was delayed in Belgrade. Well good by
Nierenberg,
Fun, fun, fun, fun if you like playmobil that is an we got landed in a really assume hotel right across from playmobil world. I am not going to bore you with a uber (germen for over) long description but there was plenty of things to do. I scaled walls and got locked in holds, it was brilliant.

Warsaw, Krakcow, and Lviv. Warsaw was fun I can’t remember much but it had an excellent old town (a town that looks as it did blank # of years ago.) Krakcow we went on a bike tour pretty fun then we went to Auschwitz harsh it was jest killing mindless killing then we went to go to a salt mine but they we almost got left behind in the city. Lviv was ok it was good to have apartment to are selves so on so forth Viktor (scary looking driver) took us to a old town that my dad’s grate grand parents village. That was a rely long time ago.
Perm, Moscow, Saint Peters berg, the train and mushroom soup and soar crème flavored potato chips. Perm we went around and stuff cant remember much of Moscow but it was churches and wooden houses. saint peters berg how ever is not it’s distinctly European and modern we had a drill caption “Put to cots on it windy and cold” “wake up at 8 am because well because” come on lady your not my mother my grand mother or even an ant so. Well we did go to the ultimate water slide and wave pool place 8 water slides two were for little kids but the rest were so fun funnier the first was open top not that fast and less impressive then the rest but still fun (in order from fun to funnier) then there was a tube slide that would have been fun but had grounding places and back waters the next one was the same as the first but sum parts had a closed top the next is hard to place is ether the one wear you catch sum speed and can’t see a thing then get flung out or the one wear you go rely fast but see and don’t get flung out then the best ever slide you go rely fast then into a big boll four any one how has been to triple play will now but a lot smaller and no tube but more speed and wow you go fast
Then you hit the boll and you spin and spin 3 or 4 times before and after that your dropped yes dropt 2 meter s into a deep plunge pool deep well for now good buy.

Lake Bycal
The Mongolian-Russian border was a tuff, a whole day of waiting. After that we came to Lake Baikal wow. We only saw it from a local commuter train but wow. When we got off that local commuter train two min stop with 4 people and 4 bike are gluide was with us after then we did a tuff riding had to walk in some places for fear of breaking our necks after that we went to our home stay which was no easy task we would clime up a hill then down using the speed to get a third up the next hill. For when you say "O that’s easy i can do that” O la de da stuck up prig. Keep in mind I’m talking about Hillside but a lot steeper more like the street off of mine (i live in a died end) which any one who ever came over knows is steep. Then we get to are home stay almost fell asleep in my helmet. Day two was so fun we went to the train station it the dark all down hill we rode flatter that day but all bums were hurting all legs done for then we swam in a lake no not lake Baikal, I still be an icicle but a place named Cristal lake then we rode the train back to Irkustk
Beef the average veggie
The train and the border were fun to boring we had to be lifted up and put on new wheels, explanation in the soviets time in Russia then the USSR they made there train tracks a little bigger so they wood not be evaded by train, odd but it worked, we arrived in Ulaanbaatar no landscaping no good looking buildings and the rode to the national Mongolian symbol of pride ,Chingis Khan statue, was like the dirt trail we went on later the Ger camp was excellent Mongolian BBQ, arrow shooting, riding hoses, somersaulting off well maybe not that but I did it dads and my horse bolted from a dog dad got the worst he was day dreaming and dint now any thing until to late hurt his rib and still has a camera shaped bruise under his pocket don’t worry the camera was okay o ya and dad to. Now for me I remember four things a bark a main a eye and well pain in my head then I was in the dirt after that we rode up to the jaunt Chingis Khan statue and then back to camp and played a traditional game played with the ankle bones of a seep in Spain I will catch up on that and other such as mushroom soup and sour cream flavored lays potato chips but to sum it up I hated U.B. but we got ankle bones
China
Smoke, smog, regenerating pigs and post cards china never ends it fun. Sorry about not posting but well the Chinese government has a well wall on bogging and face book so I will be in Mongolia when posting and probably will not be up to date till Saint Peters Berg and even then it is not going to catch up completely until Spane. Now for the regenerating pigs you wham them on the floor and than they will go flat and tern back into a pig. We me and my parents have gone to the Chinese Police Museum the forbidden city and … square (not real name) now for the Grate Wall. Beijing Smells like well like dog poop covered in cow manure and chucked in the sewer which it probably is. Grate Wall was fun the history the giant slide away going down and even the hike. The solders must have been pooped after one patrol.
