Comments on: Taking the bus… http://tryse.net/blog/2009/06/05/taking-the-bus/ Travel blog for 2009-2010 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:09:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Chris http://tryse.net/blog/2009/06/05/taking-the-bus/comment-page-1/#comment-48 Chris Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:02:59 +0000 http://tryse.net/blog/?p=147#comment-48 And here I was in Athens yesterday complaining about the taxi drivers and vowing to never ever take a taxi in my life again. Kept my word on day 1 and took the metro to the TP office. Obviously, there is no metro station close to TP, so I ended up walking for 20 minutes, but still… I was happy to not have to take a taxi. The metro to the airport is currently closed, so I took another metro line, then switched to a suburban rail solution and managed to get to the airport as well without the use of taxis… So far, so good.

So you can see my dilemma now… A country where ANY type of bus, state operated or privately operated has the ‘Athens taxi feel’, but then multiplied by 500… brrrr… shivers down my spine.

Maybe when you guys get back you want to help me write a book about the best tourist traps in the world? From the big ones, like your “Taj Mahal experience”, or well… “Italy” to the smaller ones (Prague’s ‘You have to buy a photography permit in order to take pictures inside a dark building, but tripods and flash are not allowed even with permit’). I really think there’s a market for a book like that.

And finally… (puts on his ironical hat) thanks for putting the concept and accompanying pictures of ‘dying of an overdose of aphrodisiacs’ in my brain. It’s been haunting me for days… Life will never be the same again.

Just spent a nice evening getting updated on all your adventures. What an amazing experience. The video of the ‘road trip’ is too scary to watch! Love the pictures. Those carvings on the temples are certainly special! The both of you look soooo relaxed in every single picture. And yes of course.. am a tiny bit jealous. Then again, I can’t picture myself on that bus.. ever!

Enjoy enjoy enjoy.

Hugs,
Yvonne
