For some of them was the first trip by plane and obviously this has led to good feelings. In Athens we were waiting for the Greek and Czech friends, and together they waited out the French. The driver Dimitri particular type and able to drive to the left foot with a shoe and a slipper on the right, and with the house music at the ball took us to the hotel and moved us all day. The hotel was comfortable, free wifi, breakfast and dinner quite different, except for a Greek salad without feta cheese and meat every day. The neighborhood turned out not very recommendable (half puttanaio) but all except the first and last evening, we went out, there was not much to do. We went out at night after dinner in the eyes of all and we did more than a kilometer away.
TUESDAY, May 1
Departing from the hotel at 9. Meeting with the Greek students at school at 10.Departing to visit the nearby city of Athens, and then visit Sounion and the temple of God Poseidon. Then we are going to visit Lavrion, an ancient port near Sounio. Return to Peania for a festival and back to the hotel for dinner.
Day to Labor Day and then closed all shops and museums. Has there been any change from what was expected, but this allowed us to enjoy as long as the sea. After meeting with the headmaster at school and a visit to the school, we went to see the promontory of Sounion with the great temple to the god Neptune (from a distance, closed). The sea, wonderful invited us in, we lived after the visit of Lavrion. What can I say! We also made a bathroom because the game of volleyball on the beach was busy. The four groups of boys on the first day does not have much linked: the age difference with the French, the timidity to use English. But the enthusiasm of the Greeks allowed gradually to create a good group. Before dinner, the two teacher attended the rally of KKE: Iskirò KuKuE ', Metapò Laiko (power to the KKE, the people below). After dinner Akropoli by night and Valentina with Pavel and Julia are back on foot.

After breakfast we set out to Dimitri Glyka Black (fresh water) where Greek friends were waiting for us to go see the Museum of Modern Art Peania where our guide showed us some of the works and where we finally refreshed under a large tree in the middle of a lush garden. We then returned to school for a lunch of pizza ...! Excellent! To digest nothing better than a game of volleyball does not regulate (not known how many were players per team and at the same number) and go with the Greek dances in a circle. This allowed us to tie a lot. Then the serious lesson with the director who taught us to do the shots for a video dividing in mixed groups. Great idea from Paul, who has started the generation of the religion of fazzolettesimo. At about 7 we headed back to the hotel for dinner.

The day began with a visit to the Parliament to meet the Presidential Guard and attend the investiture. We entered the halls of power! No check with metal detectors, no control of the ID cards. The commander of the guards told us about this particular military body: its origin, clothing, as is the selection, their tasks. When fruit juice and croissants for everyone. From here, through the National Gardens, we have reached the Parthenon on the Acropolis. That said, the beginning of European history. After lunch at the Acropolis Museum, a very talented lady gave us a guide to understand the history and 'Greek art: Pavel also figured among the statues (see photo). The beauty of the Acropolis and the museum have redeemed the image that we had made the city. The day ended with a disco party and return to the hotel at 2 am. Party by night: Mark has asked to take a picture of a Greek police officer, who has denied his image (broken heart!); Italians are the only ones to drink, the French have asked to go away soon, a French is declared to Manuel, Mark refused to French and pulled behind another French Valentina is open to other people of the project (yet told him that we should focus on the project!), Cristian grew from many figures of m ... figures in many of m ..., competing with Julia, then he learned the technique of taking candy ninja, Julia stole the shampoo from the maid's cart (and the hair is not washed them), it was discovered Valentina and Cristian are perfect for a combination of world destruction.

It falls. After breakfast today was later than usual, we said goodbye to our Czech friends who were leaving in the afternoon and we went with the French airport. We arranged to meet with everyone Černošice for December. We hope that the winter is mild.
Review of Greek baths, edited by Valentina Biconne:
the bathrooms at the school were in Turkish with the doors always open: it was like to own school.The music school has scented baths, cozy and with background noise. Public toilets of the hotel: nn is clean but worn out. The bathroom in the basement (toilet for men) had type containers. I miss the bathroom of the pub because I dance so do not sweat and I went to the bathroom.Review of Marco:
broke people waking in the night, especially Alexis who speaks. Alessio was forced to make a night life wandering between the rooms because of his need to talk in their sleep. Mark and Valentina were about to leave the pens, but the beautiful day and the friendliness of the Greeks have permission to fix it.
GREEK LIFE: the helmet is required but not used; metro almost empty and used by tourists, beggars, passing through a red, unattractive windows and if the food falls from the banquet in the street, it collects, the crisis ruined the lives of the Greeks, but they are always able to express joy and affection and be friendly towards tourists.
Tip: Michelangelo should bring out more often because Foligno still seems out of place. It is famous among us that we have lived with him the best days of his life to a scene in which he asked that the closer the money he replied: "I'm sorry I just Postepay".While Michelangelo was smoking a cigarette, talking on the phone with the girl, accompanied by dances and songs by Cristian on the bed, the French were knocking on the door to see who it was squawking.Every night Cristian prepared pacts with food avanzava calling Gaddafi Gaddafi island planet and honoring with this the Czechs.
AIGAMISIO ALL... we are joking
