Alexi and Jason do Naxos!

Alexi and Jason arrived on Naxos two days ago after a big party session in Ios.

Our days so far have been spent down at Prokopios beach playing rackets, swimming and ripping back flips and bombs.

They are out clubbing now. I got bored and decided to upload some videos before hitting the sack.

Getting arrested again!!!!!

A couple of nights ago two aussie girls and I took my scooter down to the supermarket to get some vodka and orange juice. The supermarket was located opposite the police station.

After we got our produce I said to the girls "jump on this is Greece, the police don't care!" As soon as we jumped on the boss of the police station walked out and started yelling and screaming in Greek "what do you think you are doing? show me your licence." I pretended I didn't understand him and asked him "what was the problem?" After a little bit of arguing we headed into the police station where he through down my drivers licence and told the young officers that these three people where about to ride a scooter without helmets, all in Greek.

I did my best not to laugh at them as they spoke about us, but managed to talk about the Greeks in Melbourne to butter them up a little bit. The boss left a minute later as another guy came in asking "what these three people are doing here". Once they had agreed that the boss had left the told us we could leave, with a smile. We said "thanks mate" and carried on our way (this time with only me on the bike as the girls' hotel was 70 meters down the road.

The rest of the night was a blinder!!!!

Some sunset and people pics from Naxos

To infinity and beyond!!! (Motor bike ride through the Old Town of Naxos to the beach

After eating a horiatiki and kotopoulo (greek salad and chicken) I decided that I would attempt to video myself riding my scooter from my dad's restaurant, in the old town of Naxos, through the narrow streets out onto the open road down to the closest beach of St George.

This is how it went:

Finally, a video of my trip to Naxos, Greece

The heading says it all!!!!

My first hair cut (that I have given)

Two days ago my brother asked me to cut his hair. As all good big brothers would say "of course I will, I've never done it before in my life but I can practice on you."

So, I cut his hair and suprisingly it actually turned out quite good (despite some little stuff ups on the way.

Check the video out...

Doing bombs at Prokopios beach, Naxos

Yesterday Kostas did some bombs off Christos's shoulders so I thought I would share them with you all as you can see who beautiful the beach and water is and you all should also be very jealous!!!!



And some more videos of the beach I forgot!!

Naxos Fireworks 14th July 2006

The 14th of July is a big holiday in Naxos. Each year they celebrate with fireworks. Alex, Kosta and I went up to Portokali on the hill and took the following photographs of the fireworks.

Some pics of the people I've met so far

Each day I go to the beach, while every night I go out to Prime or Ocean Club so I thought I would put some photos of the people I've met and hang out with her on Naxos... I'll find something more interesting soon to write and put up.

3 days of boredom

My trip to Greece was a little bit longer than expected. I should have suspected something was up when I went to the airport 3 hours early only to find that the line was massive and that it would take an hour and a half to check it. Luckily I had my travel buddy Cassandra-Jane (AKA Cassie) to entertain me.

Melbourne to Dubai was boring, unconfortable and long. Both Cassie and I were happy that the longest parts of our journey were over with. We had a 4 hour stop over in Dubai before the final 5 hours to Athens.

We were seated at the back of the plane in a set of 2 seats (rather than 3 or 4 seats), this was cool. Our seats where more comfortable than the other plane and we could choose over 500 different channels of movies, tv shows and music. I only hope I get a similar plane on the way back.

After arriving in Athens and waiting for our bags, which happened to be the last ones off the plane for some reason, we were greated with big hugs from Mandy and Kate (2 of Cassie's friends) and lots of tears (typical girls!!!).

The girls had some cigarettes while we waited for a bus to the port of Piraeus. I should seen this sign coming a mile away when it took almost 2 hours to get to the port (normally only takes 50 mins). Once we got to the port I had 5 mins to catch my ferry while the girls had 20mins. I ran around, but couldn't find the ferry. Dammmm, I've missed it. I asked a cute female port police officer where the ferry was and she said it wasnt leaving today. Fuck me drunk!!!!!!!!

All the ferries were cancelled due to a shipping ban because of the strong winds. I managed to get a ticket on a ferry that was leaving a few hours later. I said goodbye to the girls and boarded the ferry. 24 hours later the ferry left for Naxos. After 31 hours on this ferry I finally touched down on Naxos at 2AM Thursday 6th of July. I was greated by my bro Alex and the boys Kostas, Chris and Junior. I had a shower, got dressed then we went rocking until 6:30AM.

I slept for 3 hours, woke up, unpacked my bag and then went down the beach to play soccer and have a quick swim.

It is still windy here so I haven't ventured down to Prokopios or Plaka beach yet. When I do I will post a video and some photos.

I have a video of my travels I will upload tomorrow morning because it is 100Mb in size so I need to do it when the Internet cafe opens.
