Travelin Monkey

So I made it back to my hotel at 5 pm and was torn to shreds by the festivities of the night before. I passed out and awoke at midnight. I headed down to a fantastic resteraunt on the beach and had some amazing grilled shrimp with a Mythos.. my waitress asked if I wanted any dessert, I said no, so she grabbed a bottle of wine and went to drink and pass out at the beach HAHAH the family came out and had dinner and the mom asked me how I liked the shrimp! it was awesome mostly because they made me feel like part of the family.. i headed back up to bed after dinner and started to run a slight fever and sore throat, but after 3 days of intense partying and drinking, who wouldn’t?

I had breakfast with Mama & Papa, who kissed me farewell after saying “we love you come back!” and headed off to Paradise Beach. I am, for the very first time, staying in an absolute shit hole. I have been in a million hotels and hostels throughout all of europe (and the world), but this one takes the cake. It is even worse than the $5 a night place in Montezuma, Costa Rica!! My room is a bungalow on the beach, it has 4 walls, a bed, and a door. Room B-B2. No window, no nothing. There is a shared bathroom for like 200 people, and it is so nasty, **I** don’t even want to use it!

The beach is ridiculous here. you can’t even WALK during the day, and the partying starts at 3 pm! 3 FREAKIN PM! and they don’t stop until 11 am the next day! WOW! how do these people do this?! (hint: drugs)

As of August 1, 2006 I have been partying for 58 straight days, starting June 5 with the end of boards, continuing with Benny boy through out the entire world cup (6 am bloody marys @ Kezar baby!) and then the rest of the guys in europe…I have been traveling through europe for 41 days..

August 1 marks the day that I officially became exhausted of drinking and partying and traveling.. but mainly because of mykonos and paradise beach! I went to bed at around 1 am after some mild festivities at the beach.. and could not get a second of sleep. the italians were with their white stripes song the ENTIRE night (the official ‘we kicked france’s ass at the world cup song).. and there were buses going every 30 minutes with mopeds and ATVs driving and honking all night long.. then at around 3 am they started with the firworks until about 4 am..

i woke up and left with GREAT pleasure.. a ball of sweat, but I refused to shower there! I hopped on my ferry and made it to athens. I found an awesome hostel for 18 euros a night.. they give you a complimentary shot, free internet 24 hours, and have a bar.. I am rooming with 2 brit guys who have been traveling since may and a chilean girl..

tonight is going to be a drinking fest at the bar.. tomorrow I wake up, contemplate buying a 3rd suit (they’re just SO DAMN CHEAP here!) and head on out to Barcelona for 13 days! YAY!

Greece has done me well.. I loved all the islands, but I doubt I will ever head back to mykonos.. it is all about sex, booze, and 24 hour parties there and very commercialized, which is what I thought Ios would be like.. plus the beaches sucked and smelled really bad too..
