Today we planned to go to that beach Nicko, the Italian was telling us about lastnite. We asked the lady at reception how to get there and she said it would take 2 hours but we could go by bus from a main street in the city. She marked the street on the map for us and said to look out for the bus with Sounion on it. Sounds easy enough!
We got to the street she had marked and realised quickly that there was lots of different bus stops, hundreds of buses, we had no idea what side of the road we even had to be on. No one at the information desks could speak English, what a big help! The bus drivers that could still didn't know exactly where the bus was going to leave from nor what time they where leaving and after an hour i was getting really past the whole idea. However, the clouds opened up and out of no where a greek man only a little older then us, came to the rescue by asking us if we needed help! He spoke to a few different people in ghreek and really went out of his way to help us find where we had to go. Turns out we where on the wrong street! Ryan and I have know both sworn that if we ever see anyone in Adeliade with a map in there hand that look like they are trying to find something then we wil go out of our way, even cross the street to try and help them!
Once we found the right bus stop we had to wait another half an hour for it to come. We couldn't give up now though, even though it was past lunchtime! The bus trip took us right along the coast and it was a beautiful trip. 2 hours later and at 2.30pm we arrived at Cape Sounion. All that was there, was anancient greek ruin, The Pantheon, a restuarant and a gift shop. It was very beautiful though, as far as you could see out to the horizon was all the Greek Islands. We had a traditional Greek lunch at the restaurant amd after we where full to the brim, we caught the next bus back to Athens. Sleeping the whole trip back! It was areally nice day in the end.... Lucikly!
