Looks good.
Great - I know it takes a shedfull of time to do but it is really well worth doing - at least from our point of view. Gets hard though as the days where on I guess.

Is that a decent blog entry
Oh my god. Why cant u see the greater picture? I'm Greek woman and i wont sit and stare at your ridiculous comments. Generally my country, is not as stupid as u present it. You cant judge a whole nation from a stupid minority. One thing that bothered me a lot is your description of the ancient statues that you have taken pictures of. More specifically "a statue" , "And another statue". You are not even close to know what these statues represent. You came to Greece to see an anonymous and wannabe "statue" ? Cant you even show some respect to our legacy? Or the bronze statue. Dude you don't know anything about Greece and you just come and criticize our ways and ancient statues? "A charming fellow" OH my god, i really hate people like you. Also yes, we go on strikes and yes we have rules. It's not our fault that u get mad on them. You should know better than that. By the way "Costa" should rethink his comment because the fact the we party and we live our life is our choice. We are working on a daily basis and people should get some time off you know. I don't think that we are perfect but I should recommend to that dude that if he has a schedule of visiting museums and places at whatever time he wants he should go somewhere where people work to death all day long and don't have a life :) ps. we have dinner when want. we don't put our whole life on a timetable you douchebag. stay to your country if u are not okay with our ways.

The Blue Mosque
Well, the religious aspect had no signifigance to me (and quite frankly, it bored me). Architectually, I guess it was good, but really, it's not far from the Hagia Sofia which is what? 1,000 years older? The Hagia Sofia was much more impressive to me. As for the tea, yeah, I'm expecting that. Still, I'll get the cups, etc through.

"Been a long time gone Constantinople"
Istanbul for me was a very moving experience - with the history and the culture and (albeit v moderate) Muslim religion and the most bizzare little nightclub cellar/bar which played top music and served beer from the tap until early hours of the morning. I'm interested that you thought the Blue Mosque was not that special. Horses for courses I suppose :) Good luck with the tea through customs - they confiscated mine :(
18th May 2008

wow is right!
I am still kicking myself after missing the opportunity to visit Gallipoli when I had a week in Istanbul. Very heartfelt mate, would have been a moving experience even for the most cinical. Top pics BTW!

wow
I remember the feelings we felt at the Somme, so I can easily imagine the feelings that you would of faced. What a humbiling experience. Good work.

ahoy there mate :) just finished going through your saga to date and it's got me exhausted - some top pics, love to see them all in person (maybe one day). Always was interested in seeing how Piraeus was linked the port to Athens, oh and eating Greek seafood with ouzo which you WALKED AWAY FROM!! ;) as well as the tomb. And more recently the Byzantine aspect of Greece would be so cool to see. Top idea this blog BTW! Take care post soon.

It was something like Soutsikakis at Meteora. It definitely started with S, but you're right, I think they were called kefthethes somewhere else that I had them

Oh, sorry, no prizes. First answer was steven, who used the term "food cricket" and is thus disqualified. Second answer is from anonymous, so they are disqualified. Bad luck :P

I know!
Homer Simpson. I believe it was the episode of when he became a food cricket? What do I win?
9th May 2008

Homer Simpson said it. Now I think it was when he got the job as a food critic?

outstanding bloggin dave
Really good stuff - feels like you're saving me the effort of going to alot of these places when we go over!! By the way - the meatballs were probably called "keftethes", though that may depend on where you were and what they call it there.

nice one Bruvva!
Awesome! Some top stuff there! I tell you it sounds to me like these Greeks are a tired bunch. All those thousands of years of civilization seem to have knackered them, siestas at 3pm, everything closed, crazy strikes. And they call Aussies apathetic?!?!?!?! BAH! Oh and I love the 'Well, I didn’t know what they did in ancient marketplaces' Keep em coming!

Hey Vincenzo, Just subscribed to the blog and caught up on the Adventures of Dave in the motherland. You'll find a lot of stuff closes around 3pm. Siesta time my friend. Greeks need to have a sleep so that they can wake up and have dinner ridiculously late and party till the wee hours of the monring. Keep up the good work on the blog - it's getting me psyched for my arrival. cb

What a great place
Boy am I getting an education. You should be writing the tour guide. Fascinating place! Met up with Tim Hill on Wed night. We had dinner at the Thirlmere Chinese for Barbara's 70th birthday. Tim was most disappointed to have missed you. I gave him your travel blog address. Love mum
