Bye Italy! Hello Greece!

While on the plane ride to Greece, the plane passed by fireworks. It was exciting and scary at the same time being that close to fireworks. We arrived at Ammons Hotel,we went to the bathroom,  I saw a lady who was cleaning the bathroom and the lady said to not put toilet paper in the toilet. I found it quite weird to not flush toilets.  Later on we went to the Parthenon and took pictures there. Then went to a restaurant, the restaurant served bread first, I asked for butter, the waiter looked at me funny and said that bread is not served with bread. I wasn't to found of eating the bread without any butter to put on the bread. The waiter suggested to order Chaniotiko Bourek and spankotyropita. We ordered that and the food tasted really good. While being there people there wear jewelry that had little blue eyes on their neck and wrists. I asked the waiter why is there many people wearing those jewelry with little blue eyes and the waiter said to ward of evil. After eating we went to the beach, the ocean was very blue and clear. While my sister was closing her eyes and laying down I went to climb up a hill to see a better view of the beach. When I was done climbing, in the back round I could hear hard breathing and when I looked back I saw my sister walking to me. We both watched the view and saw a lot of jellyfishes surrounding a guy in the water. We both looked at each other and shouted  really loud to the guy to  watch out for the jellyfish and the guy paddle boarding quickly went to the shore and said thank you. Then we packed our stuff and changed our cloths to go paragliding. The instructor went with us while going paragliding. While paragliding, my hair kept on getting in my eyes and I could hear the instructor and my sister screaming in my ear. We passed by many hills, mountains and grassland. Me and my sister took a break and ate at a resturant. I ate ratatouille ,my sister ate sea food very quickly and we both had qurabiya for desert. The food tasted so good!  After that we went to acropolis in Athens and took pictures there. While there I almost trip over rocks but luckily I gained by balance before falling. My sister laughed at me and I tried pushing her to fall while I pushed her, we almost bumped into someone and I stop  trying to push her to fall after that. Then we went on a bus to go tour around in a cave. While on the way there I saw bright blue turquoise painted buildings and the guide on the bus said that the colors are like that because before it was thought to ward off evil spirits  When we arrived at the cave, it was really dark, I saw many bats, pointy things, drips of water falling and very clear blue water. Then when we were done we went back to the hotel.


The last day.. we went shopping, we shop for souvenirs and other things. While paying our souvenirs the cashier said that all the shopping malls close on Sunday. Me and my sister talked about how weird that malls close on Sunday because the malls in the U.S just close early on Sunday. Later on we went on a helicopter tour ride seeing volcanoes  The view was amazing and beautiful. I took a video and my sister took pictures while on the plane. After that we went sightseeing on a bike, my sister kept on complaining of how tired she was,I got tired too, so we took a break and ate  snacks we brought and drank water. The landscapes I saw took my breath away, it was so beautiful. After that we went to a restaurant and saw two people getting kicked out of the resturant. While eating we saw the people who worked at the restaurant sing happy birthday to one of the tables and I was so tempted to say that it was my sister's birthday(which it was not). We went back to the hotel for another a massage, then watched a comedy movie.

Went on a plane back To the U.S...
