August 1 - Athens to Thessaloniki

After a cracker sleep, Jez and I woke up refreshed and ready to attack the day. For those of you out their reading this who don’t know, Athens is at the bottom of Greece and Greece is at the arse end of Europe. Therefore, the only way to go is north. With this in mind, we headed to the train station to catch a train to the only place we could, Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki is in northern Greece and is the only way to get out of Greece without swimming.

The train ride was uneventful and we got to our destination just before dinner. As I mentioned above, Greece is in the arse end of Europe. It can be safely said that Thessaloniki has nothing going for it and is thus the arse end of Greece. Jez and I settled down and had our last authentic Greek salad as part of dinner.

After dinner we hoped onto an overnight train to Sofia, Bulgaria.

I know this blog seems short in stature. To be honest, I’m sure that other stuff happened. However, I am writing this blog a few days later and a lot has happened between now and then. Stuff that has used up a lot of my memory, thus reducing my memories of this day. However, the more interesting stuff is to come. You will have to read on to understand what I am talking about. All will reveal itself.

Read on……
