Greece Needs to Thank the Olympics

Athens has been a rather intriguing city, its filled with beauty but also graffiti. Walking around the city appears to be fine and the metro is surprisingly clean. Since the Olympics in 2004, you can tell that they have modernized their rail system. The city is very English friendly and very easy to navigate. However, while in Athens apparently jumped into a train that caused us to be delayed by an hour to our destination. The hostel I am staying at is very clean and has a great staff. Last night we had a chance to drink with some other backpackers and try ouzo and Mythos. Mythos is the local "Budweiser" of Greece. It taste like Heinken, just like all the beers around the Mediterranean seem to taste. The trip is going well, I really wish we could do a bit of island hopping, but there is always next time. Next stop is Vienna.
