So Sara and I went to Greece recently for 2 weeks and thats the most interesting thing I can think of to talk about that has happened in recent history so I figured I will start there. We flew by aeromobile (otherwise known as an airplane) to an island called Santorini which is a part of the Cyclades island chain in the sea south of mainland Greece and fuck me it didnt dissapoint!! . Take a look at this picture of some olives and a Greek beer I was gorging on our balcony , this was literally my diet for the first 3 days , beer , olives and bread , I even discovered if you get really really really good and fresh olives to go with some super fresh and tasy bread then you can just make olive sandwiches and survive on them , so fucking good !
On the first day I also managed to finally go parasailing after missing out many times before , it was ok , but kinda shit to be honest haha , after having done skydiving, shark diving , bungee jumping and cliff jumping this seemed kinda tame haha . You go pretty high in the air , they dunk you in the water , your balls get squashed up into your insides and the guys who we were doing it was about as enthused as I was. But still bloody glad a did it just to say that i did :) Here is a picture of me enjoying the thrill ride :P
This island called Santorini is basially only a thousand years old or something like that and its just a huge ass volcano and its really magnificant and picturesque and all that crap so we hired a quad bike and rode around the island to check it out . We came across a really weird beach where it seriousy looked like you were on Mars , it felt like you were on Mars to as it was about 40 degrees and there was no wind , Sara and I walked down to the water and swam for like 5 minutes and then got out and promptly left to get ourselves an ice cream to cool off , wow that sounds like something an old person would tell other people , we went to get an ice cream to cool off , well im leaving it like that anyways and hey fuck you it was hot and that ice cream was fuckin epically awesome ! ;) Here is a picture of the Mars Beach !
Ok next I will talk about the food , HOLY FUCKING JESUS THE FOOD ! It was probly my favorite thing about Greece , and whilst that may sound kinda boring it really is not because Greek food is easily my favorite type of food and I ate shitloads of it growing up in West End in Brisbane because there is a huge Greek community in West End . Have you ever heard of a cheese called Saganaki cheese ? Neither had I until I discovered my second true love ( Sara of course being the first... Hey I gotta say that shit cause she reads this haha) Saganaki cheese is a fried cheese which is a mixture between haloumi and feta cheese and fuck me its DAS BOMB! Its almost fully responsible for me putting on the 5 kgs I put on while we were away , one day I managed to eat it 3 times ! It is THAT good ! This is a pic of some saganaki cheese, some nice fresh bread , some tzatsiki of course and some olive paste , it was bloody delicious ! The saganaki is the plate with the tomatoes on it ;)
This last Picture is just of the typical Greek houses/churches and buildings you find all over Greece but they look even more spectacular when they are all so close together built on the side of a massive volcano!.
Ok seeing as though writing this blog has taken me and hour now I have decided to tell you about the rest of our Greece trip in my next blog post , which hopefully will be tomorrow and not a few months like this blog was in the making haha . Cheers cunts !
That is all , Peace out , Catch ;)
