1. Archaelogical Museum of Thessaloniki: full of gold gravegods. Seriously. Full.

2. Heat continues most unpleasant. I will not be climbing while I'm here, even if I can find a wall. This annoys me, as I can feel my arm muscles starting to melt.

3. Have internet. But chat programmes blocked. Alas.

4. Eventually I will investigate the old part of the town and perhaps an Orthodox church or two. There are two other museums at least here that I have yet to locate and explore, and a bath complex and a Roman-period forum, which I would quite like to have a look at.

5. Can now say, "How old are you?" and "Where are you from?" in Greek. Fluency, it is not. Yet. Phonemes interestingly different. A lot of ways to write the sound "eee".

6. Hope maybe to get a couple of minutes' run in at some point during next week. Though going faster than a walk is possibly not the cleverest idea ever, for me: temperature twice the average at home at least until after midnight.

7. Greek food puts oregano in everything. Pasta, rice, chicken, chips, pork, meatballs, tomato - everything.

8. Will attempt to describe adventures in Thessaloniki in more detail, but only if anyone is interested.
