Hey Ya'll!
My sincere apologies for not updating over the last five days. I had a great trip to Thessaloniki last weekend. On Friday I arrived around 4 pm, and found my hotel somehow without too many hiccups for someone who had never visited the city. I also did not even have a map in my possession as well. The hotel was not all that great, but it was only a $50 dollar a night room that I stayed in. The service from the staff though was wonderful. Service allows me to overlook the negatives in a hotel or hostel.
Thessaloniki was a nice town to visit for a weekend. There is a little history there, and the people are very friendly. Many of them speak English, and though the food is twice as much as Sofia, the taste is wonderful. I can not really say I ate anything native though, since I was stuck to carb-loading for Friday evening and Saturday at lunch time.
My idea of location was not a great idea considering location of the local sights. The sights were a good twenty-thirty minute walk away; at least the bus/train station were about ten minutes or so away from the hotel, so I was a sort of a winner there. I entered one church during the thirty-six hours I was there and just walked around and examined history in the great outdoors otherwise.
Here are a few pictures that I took.
Great graffiti
I love the positioning of this cross
What's Up Park?
Sunsets are wonderful in this city
White Tower
Not such a great pic of this church
