Or maybe Cheece, bacon and ham??
Also last I heard Australia were 0/25 at stumps day 1 after bowling England out for 260, with Siddle getting a hat-trick.
Having a great time in Greece. Visited the Byzantine Castle above Nafplio which was amazing. It was extremely hard to believe that it was actually taken by the Turkish in A.D. 900 because of the size of the castle and its location on top of a steep hill.
We then drove to Mycenae to investigate some ancient Mycenaean ruins. The Mycenaeans were the precursors to the ancient Greeks and the civilisation that invaded Troy. We also saw the Tomb of Agamemnon, the General in-charge of the attack on Troy. This featured a stone slab that weighed 120 tonnes. It is understandable, then, why the Ancient Greeks believed that Perseus, a demi-god, had hired two cyclops to help him build that walls and tombs at the village.
Tomorrow we are taking a ride on a rack railway (which can go up steeper inclines than a normal railway) before going back to Patra to catch an overnight ferry to Italy. I probably won't get internet on the ferry so won't post until saturday (possibly).
Hope the scavenger hunt to maccas tomorrow is good and you all have fun.
Ranga.

Greece is so full of history and food, it would probably be in my top ten countries that I must visit. Good to see that you're having loads of fun.
ReplyDeleteHave you been researching all the place and things you come across, that can be quite enlightening.
120 tonnes ?!?!?!
What would you pay a cyclops with? Assuming hired means "payed to work".
Continue to enjoy your trip,
Alexander
Sounds interesting. How was the Cheece pizza? BTW, what's Cheece?
ReplyDeleteMaccas was good. cameron stuffed his face: made about 10 trips :S it was pre good! lots & lots to eat!
I saw HP7 a few days ago, and i didn't really like it though. prob because i related it to the book to much: oh well, i will be seeing it again soon.
How much stuff did u take with you? did u leave anything behind? The tombs sound intriguing, and why would anyone have a 120 tonne stone slab???
Hope u have a great time in Italy, although its only for a short while. I'm off to see the Crusty Demons tonight so that should be good. Glad your having a good time.
