Sittin' in Italia

What I forgot to mention in the last post is that all greek cab drivers are trying to kill H. and I.

They seriously want us to die via a high speend game of chicken with the Greek Equivalent of a MAC truck... Mu Alpha Chi???


Miraculously we made it to our ferry, on time and without spilling any blood. I am still a bit foggy as to how this was achieved, but it was, and therefore I am satisfied.

The ferry was a frickin cruise ship with a disco and food and a movie theater and a casino. We ordered a bottle of wine and got cozy with our books after watching BAYWATCH and 90210 reruns...

Things you didn't think that you'd be doing in the Adriatic sea...

So there we were, totally emmersed in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants when some Australian guys came up and started chit chatting. They all work in the UK and bought a crap ass van to drive around Europe. The next morning, they offered us a ride into town in said crap ass van.

They weren't lying.... it smelled of crap ass... or frat boys... or boys in general.

Ew.

Infact, I think the Van was instrumental in the OBVIOUS profiling that accompanies 5 20 somethings in a crap ass hippy van as we were pulled over by Italian authorities and instructed that the drug dogs were going to sniff through our stuff.

I wasn't worried because I know that H. and I don't have any... but then it hit me. What if these guys that we JUST met....do?

Afterall, they ARE driving a crap ass hippey van.

SHIT.

We never got a chance to find out... H. and I got out of the van as instructed and smiled and chatted about being Canadian and they let us go immediately, after we assured them that we were not on our way to Amsterdam.

This situation put the hamster in my head on overdrive and I came up with a top 5 list...

What NOT to say to a Customs Official after he asks if you have any drugs on you or in your vehicle.

5. I don't, but he might.

4. No, sir. I smoked it earlier... Know where I can find a Pizza hut?

3. Marijuana? No. But I have some cocaine if you'd like...

2. Is that illegal here or somethin? What if I have glaucoma... you know... hypothetically.

1. No, sir. But, do you know where I could buy some??


................ Bad hamster! Bad!


Ciao for now!
