turns out...

that I get sea sick very easily and that the medicine they give you for sea sickenss (called "emetoSTOP" "emeto" being greek for barf and "stop" being english for stop). Also, my suitcase is still in Rome, perhaps it will have something interesting to tell about the world cup fever that surrounds it and is no doubt at least partially responsible for our delayed reunion. Also, if you buy something at a shop in Greece and then decide you don't like it, they will not give you your money back but it can be really entertaining to try and get them to do so.
