2 posts in one day!

Only the earlier one was written whilst in incredible !ndia. Which is cheating, I suppose.

Also, people who are excited about Haran and Camboooodia will have to wait, as I don't have anything to offer you right now.

BUT I LOVE ATHENS!!!

It is super really wonderful. Honest. So! What can I tell you about Athens? First, paved stones, chilly weather (ok, not sooo much on the chilly), and beautiful monuments, marble and really really incredibly friendly people make this city really very nice. So nice, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

But! I digress - so, I've spent the last few days rambling about with a superb pom called Sonia (I know, who would ever have thought you could have pom and very nice in THE SAME SENTENCE?) - with whom I saw the parthenon, the acropolis (well, they are all the same, really, but still), and an island (brifly. Very very briefly), and the back streets of Athens (NOT so super fun, but still).
Actually, I'm note really sure if that is Sonia with a "y" or an "i", so I might have to give differing versions (I know, what a champ I am for doing that. Still, such are the extents I go for gorgeous travelling companions) - you know, calling her Sonja, say. I couldn't actually work out how to put her name in again (and by "her" I mean Sonia. Or Sonja... you NEVER KNOW), which is why I had to add it so obviously (and by "it" I mean the attractive Sonia. Or maybe, just maaaybe, the also-attractive Sonja).
Anyway, the backpackers I'm in is really really great - plenty of cool people, lots of laughs etc - and I'm here for one more day before I go to santorini island for a night or three (or two!) and then onto the uk!

I know, action should really be some part of my name. But it's not. So we'll just have to live with Ganapathy (and seeing as my namesake got his head shorn off, and an elephant head put on, and hangs out with a rat familiar, really, let's face it, it's not too far from "action", eh?).

Ok, I'd write more about Athens (and it is a really nice city. I like it very much - just that wanky feeling of being one with the socrates & the plato is enough for me), but I have OODLES of catching up to do. Like, emails, and news, and comics, and even, well, blog writing. But I'm pretty done with that... NOW!
