Diary 7, Episode 11: Istanbul -> Perth -> Cottesloe. After a long trip, we arrive in Perth and meet up with Grant, who graciously shows us around, connects us with possible work, and is just all around a great dude. 

Diary 7, Episode 10: Pythagoreus -> Kusadasi -> Istanbul. We arrive in Turkey after some surprise visa expenses. Spend some time touring the Ephesus and end up in Istanbul, making friends with some Danish boys.

Diary 7, Episode 9: Theologus -> Patmos -> Pythagoreus. Some relaxing, rented a car and drove around Rhodos. Didn't manage to find work picking olives but have a plan to head to Australia where friends and family can help us out. 

Diary 7, Episode 8: Athens -> Theologus. Finally a chance to cook in the kitchen of the American students who offered to let us stay with them for a couple of nights! Another tough time finding a hostel, but eventually settling into an incredibly beautiful spot at a very good price. So good that it inspired poetry...

Diary 7, Episode 7: Rome -> Athens. Making friends with Americans and leggy Dutch girls wherever we go, we explore the wonders of Rome and then make our way to Athens. My mistake- this episode is where we are driven by a madman cab driver! 

Diary 7, Episode 6: Milan -> Bergamo -> Rome. A visit to the old city of Bergamo, some misplaced religious ideology. My first run-in with bedbugs, a coked-out taxi driver, an attempted mugging. 

Diary 7, Episode 5: Prague -> Milan. A mushroom trip that leads to some truly awful introspection and assumptions about everyone I pass and the nature of humans. A quick glimpse into some solid gaslighting. 

Diary 7, Episode 4: Warsaw -> Krakow -> Prague. A pretty heavy visit to Auschwitz, meet some Portuguese friends at a hostel, MK overdoes it on absinthe and criticism. 

Diary 7, Episode 3: Berlin -> Warsaw. More train confusion, new currency. 

Diary 7, Episode 2: Escanaffles -> Louven -> Liège -> Berlin. We say goodbye to Niels, confusion about train seats, grand plans in the works for the rest of our travels.
