It was officially 45 degrees Celsius and much more in the city. While walking the sites, I drank 9 litres of water during the 4 hours it took me to walk around. I bet it was over 50 C on top of the Acropolis. [View Full Entry]

Ohhhhh, what an island. It is a huge party place. Paradise beach has music going all day while people dance and drink on the beach. Super paradise beach is similar, but with more gay predominant crowd. To say the least, we did not stay there long. All the hotels are super expensive, as well as the drinks and cover charges at the night clubs. I did manage to catch Pete Tong perform live at Cavo Paradiso. That was worth the 35 euro cover charge. :P On Saturday night we went to Space club for some dancing and girl hunting. At the [View Full Entry]

Ios Europe » Greece » South Aegean » Ios
Prior to my arrival I heard that the Ios is the party island of Greece. I was looking forward to some dancing and crazy nights. Upon my arrival, I went to Far away Camping site and asked for accommodation. They were fully booked. However, when they asked me where I am from I replied Canada, and added Serbia. Immediately the guy behind the counter replied, why don't you speak Serbian so that the whole world can understand you. AND...the place was found for me. I was placed in a tent bungalow that looks like a dog house. It has a [View Full Entry]

The island of Santorini. So many things to see and do... I found a room on the Parrisso beach youth hostel. My bed was in the room with another 24 people. However, It was a great experience. I met 5 Austrialian girls that I spent 2 days with. I also met other travellers from all over the world. The Parrisso beach is famous for its black sand beach. The send gets very hot during the day. However, there are tons of beach bars to cool off and dance to your favorite music day and night. Fira is a biggest city [View Full Entry]

Western Crete Europe » Greece » Crete » Chania
Beeing in the hostel for a few days already, I managed to make some friends, and we decided to rent a car and explore the west side of the island where you can get only by car, as the busses do not run there. 5 of us rented a Hyndai and packed inside and took off on a road trip. We drove through Hania, Stopped in Kissamos for a quick lunch and took on the almost unpassable side road to the most north west point of the island. The condition of the road was unbelievable. It is far from deserving [View Full Entry]

Crete Europe » Greece » Crete » Rethymno
I have booked an overnight ferry from island of Rodos to the island of Crete. It was supposed to take 12 hours. Due to choppy seas it took us 16 hours to reach our destination. After 16 hours on choppy sea I felt like a drunk sailor. Even on land I still thought things were rocking for good 6 hours after the ride. :( not the best experience, but here I am ...The biggest island in Greece. Crete I arrived in Heraklion, the biggest city on the island. It is a big, dirty city, with nothing to offer. To fix [View Full Entry]

Me goofing off with my press pass
The highlight of today and this week has to be getting press all stage passes to the Chemical brothers show in Belgrade's Arena. I was thinking of going to see the show, but did not feel like spending the $40 that the tickets cost. My friend Nemanja, came up with press passes that not only let us in to see the show, but allowed us almost all access passes to most of the places. The show started at 6 pm and was going till 4 am or so. We arived around 10 30 pm just in time not to miss the [View Full Entry]

the cars are parked on the sidewalk that is not even visible from the water...
Today, I hired some contractors to do some work on the old house, and on the way there we were surprised by a wicked thunder storm. I could not believe the volume of the rain coming down. It was hailing for good 10-15 minutes. The level of water on the streets rose past the sidewalks and streets turned into rivers... There was almost a foot of water accumulated due to heavy rain as it was flowing down the hills. It was a strange thing to see. Most of the traffic halted and people just sat in their cars waiting for the [View Full Entry]
