We took a train to go from Belgrado to Thessaloniki on the night. It was about 15 hours of travel. Fortunately we have paid a personal compartment with two "beds". But it was a really funny travel because we were together in this little compartment reading, playing games...

We arrived on the morning a Tessaloniki and we had to take the bus to go in my aunt village. It was a bit difficult to find the bus but we found it and during thetravel we tried not to lose the stop. FOrtunately the driver helped us at his way. He told us that this was the stop with a "grmgrmgrmgrmg" and a move of his head. We arrived at my aunt place (really nice terasse and flat).

On the afternoon we went to the centre of Tessaloniki to see a church where there was a tumb of a guy whose bones smells well???? ant there were ruins... And after we went up to Tessalinki next to a "muraille" with my aunt and my two crazy cousins. :)

On the night we had a nice dinner with the special greek cheese (Feta and others) and a really good wine. It was funny to speak with my aunt in English because there was a friend of her and her husband who was there and he was american. Another detail my aunt who know greek speak in English with her Husband as they met each other in ENglish.

THe day after we went to walk on the forest. We played with my cousins at basketball. We went to the supermarket to buy greek speciality. A thing funny, we went to the bakery to buy cakes and my cousin Matt was with Fran and me. We were speaking in french about what cake we wanted and the girl from the bakery where looking at us but did not understand a word. I said to Matt to ask them how much did it cost. ANd my cousin who speak French greek and a bit of English, started to speak with him in Greek. It was really funny to see the faces of the two girls when he started to speak. THey were really surprised and were not expected that he would speak in Greece. It strange when you have a child who can understand you and speak another language that you dont understand.

It was a really good day and we had again a good dinner. We left at midday to take the bus to go to the station to take the train to go to Athens. We had a really funny travel. We got up to the train to go to Athens but we did not have any reservation. The controlman came and he asked us to get off the train because it was a special train with a special tarif and we had to wait for the next one. So we tried to leave the train at the next station but as soon as Fran started to leave, the train start to run. Somebody saw that he nearly felt and ask to stop the train. At the same time Fran broke his bags and the driver and the controlman start to insult him in Greek (I guess because they did not sound to say things nice). Fran freaked out and started to insult everybody in spanish. Iwas laughing a lot (poor Fran). So we got out of the train and Fran took about an hour to calm down. It was really funny. SO we took the next train to go to Athens.
