Travelling to Northern Greece

From this point North , there are wonderful gas heaters, but they look like log fires. While we were in the waiting room we met two Nigerians, so of course we spent until 2 am discussing the black/white issue in South Africa. We argued that once Mandela is eventually released and South Africa returned to the Blacks the white South Africans will be misplaced people, as they will never be truly British and never truly African. It is very cold, we are wearing almost all of our clothes to stay warm. We got on to the train only to be told that we needed to pre-book our seats, so we sat for 5 hours in the corridor at the end of the train and were mildly harassed about 5 times. We are getting quite good at dealing with male pervs. Paz turned on one lot who had offered to keep us warm, as they drooled down their unwashed faces, and said:" You know what, I hate Greece, I hate Greece, and you want to know why, cos' I hate Greek men!" We got off of the train at the other end, exhausted and cold. Luckily a friendly guy adopted us again and helped us reach the small town of Naussa.
