Traveling throughout Europe, especially throughout southern europe give me always the James Bond feeling. For example Greece: Living in asia with the regards to the rich ancient history but combined with a often new experimental lifestyle makes me feel strange arriving in athens- also a rich history but the people and their lifestyle seems to me taking a plane like a time machine which drops me after just ten hours in the 80s- amazing. I always thought Costa Cordalis in a czech mechanic who became famous in germany, but i was wrong. People in greece seem to eat always heavy meat influenced dishes served with tons of onions and garlic, look like Costa Cordalis and listen to Euro Dance Music. As I am a urban guy i do love cities and could easily stay in most places pretty long- so i thought ten days is not to much to spend in athens, but i was wrong again. The only thing which keeps me busy was a delicious lemon roast and the all time favorite greek salad- yummy, but after three u need a break. So i decided to leave for very famous rome. The deal was to drink as many espressos as possible per day- nothing more. Compared to greece guys italians are real fashionistas and sometimes fascist.
But nevertheless i never got any tasty italian food while staying in rome- its simply not worth the euros spend- stay with the espresso and you will be fine.
Stay tuned for more in depth reports on James Bond traveling.
