Greek Living - Not just for college kids...

Posted on Jul 24th, 15:11

Hey everyone!

I've been bedazzled by the glitz and glamour of Rome, swept away by the
sights and sounds of Cinque Terre, and bombarded by the beautiful
buildings of Firenze. And now, I am just in heaven in these Greek isles.
They're impossible to sum up in words - massive lush green hills move
around you as you sail nonchalantly through deep blue waves. Sorry for
my 'bad romance novel' description, it's just that awesome.

The beauty of my Topdeck tour (and the beautiful Aussie ladies on it),
is that we are not just chilling in Greek hotels. Oh no, Plato.
We're pulling out all the knots and chillin' with Poseidon as we romp
through the waves of Greece. Postcard moment: Apollo (the best boat of
the Topdeck fleet - did I mention you man the boat yourself with six of
your best friends?) was just headed on down to Corfu when dolphins came
beside the boat. Free Willy! You can't make this stuff up.

You may be wondering why I haven't gotten to the real meat of this blog
yet - Greek dancing! Basically, you need to understand that this Greek
dancing spot is not on the mainland and it's not a tourist attraction.
This is the real deal folks. These are the Greek islanders who keep
their heritage strong all night long. (Cheesy rhyme - my bad).

As you can see, this was one experience I really "sunk my teeth into". I
actually bit into a table and swung it around a bit until I lost
balance. If you supported it properly, you were fine to sink your teeth
into a piece of lamb, fish, or mousaka. If not, the nearest dentist was
a twenty mile swim. All in all, Greek dancing is undeniable fun. Oompa!
