Dirty Cities and Seaside Paradises

Well hello all from Greece!
So yes, I have continued on my journeys to our next destination, it's true. It was good to get out of the rain of Romania and into the scorching hot sun of Greece (it's been over 35 here everyday so far). My tan is definitely coming along nicely.
We spent 2 days in Athens which was 2 days too long. It's a gross disgusting city and I never want to go back there again. We had a couple of harrowing adventures and I am glad to be out of there safely. We took a fery over to Paros 2 days ago and its absolutely beautiful. Our hostel is run by this family whose little boy came and was our tour guide from the ferry. The room is very cute and charming and we have a little balcony we can sit and watch the sea in the evenings. It's so safe here, we were shopping last night until midnight and the streets were still full of people. It's nice to have something to do in the evenings. I think today we are going to rent mopeds and go explore the island. They are only 5 euros for the whole day! sweet deal.
Our plan is to head over to Santorini tomorrow and spend a couple days on the beach there. Then we'll take a ferry back to Athens and go to the airport and then head off to London for a ltitle bit before we come home! As much as I'm loving traveling right now, I'm so ready to be home and not have to lug my life around in a bag. I have been taking lots and lots of pictures though so i'll be able to show all of you everything.
Well I need to head off before my internet time runs up here. I cant wait to see you all soon!
