Ahhh... the life of a traveler. If there is one thing that a traveler has to be it would be- not being picky. After Roma, we have finally stepped foot in Greece, where for the next few days we are just going to take it easy, enjoy the water, and sit in cafes all day and basically do nothing. ( If you haven't realized yet, traveling takes a lot out of you and every once in awhile you just need some rest and relaxation, so that is exactly what we are going to do.)
Although we are not complainers, our last hostel in Rome was pretty disgusting. Everyone there was sick and who knows if some bug was just going around there or if it was the mold growing in the shower, but it was dirty and you never felt very clean there (It could also have been the fact that we are sharing six shirts between the two of us for the sixteen days we are not in Ireland, but whatever...). Furthermore, our beds were super squeaky and it felt as if you were basically just sleeping on some springs and every move you made sounded as if the bed was literally going to collapse :(
However, because the circumstances in Rome were so bad, when we came to Greece, we both felt like we were in heaven in some sense. We are not sharing a room with complete strangers, but instead we have our own room!!!!! Not only that, but in our room we have one twin bed, and one double bed. It is kind of mind blowing! They also brought us a heater, so we can actually be warm. And one of the best things about this whole thing is Kristen actually bought face wash at the market this time instead of lotion as she had done in Rome, so our faces can actually be clean. Actually the best, best thing about Greece is the food is super cheap and the gyros are to die for!
The thing is when in another country (especially one that does not speak English) it can be difficult to get around. (You can't even guess what the Greek are saying with their alphabet because it is just so different... ) But it makes the simple things such as buying face wash or getting where you want to go that more exciting when it actually does happen :)
P.S.- The guys here are not so bad to look at either!
